I only look at numbers with $$$ in front...and each analysis involves a lot more than a "handful of properties".The sooner you get away from that pencil the better. 

The sooner you invest in a home, and the longer you own it, the better the value of your investment can be.

sorry Seth for not responding sooner.

Gym 4 days/week. 

@Terrell Owens with rates rising, as long as the numbers work out, I'd err on the side of acting sooner rather than later.Since it's your first property I wouldn't take on a huge project, try to keep it to 10-20K rehab, or no more than 10K/unit.

If you get a crappy tenant then they thrash your property then your turnover costs will be incurred sooner and maybe more.Have you run a capex budget?

DOCTORSWho are high earners, often times also looking for a way out sooner rather than later, but have not time to source, underwrite and manage deals?  

@Scott M.She said the apartment complex offered amenities such as swimming pool and gym but they have had them closed due to COVID.

And finally, while Class A properties tend to have low capex/deferred maintenance due to age, relative to Class C and D, if there are capex items that are not accounted for it can cause any class property to run into trouble sooner than properties without deferred maintenance.

Obviously with a 15-year mortgage that happens much sooner and will significantly improve your quality of life.I know this is a very long-term perspective that many people these days have no patience for, but I saw you mentioned 2-3 decades, so you might be interested.Just imagine you can buy a property each year in addition to the two you have now.
