Just curious in the near term what I should expect to make on my money.

@Steven Schafer don't fall for those tenant negative stories about PMCs.A significant portion of these tenants are really complaining about being held accountable to the terms of their lease!

You set the payment terms. 

Talk in terms of the plan yes.  

I have a database of investors that reach out to me almost weekly looking for deals.In terms of price, if the numbers make sense, an investor will buy it.

While the two are related (an economic concept called elasticity), they're not directly dependent on one another in the short term.  

I am trying to start doing short term vacation homes/rental properties.

My primary focus for this investment is on long-term appreciation potential and leveraging rental income to pay down the mortgage, in this case I have no cashflow.Given the current market conditions, I understand that cash flow might not be immediate, but I'm more interested in the potential for appreciation over time and the ability to offset expenses through rental income.

I would only do it if you were okay holding on to the asset for the long term. $30k can turn into $8k or 0 really fast - whether that is due to unexpected costs - especially on an 1875 vintage home - or your ARV estimate being off.

He noted this is likely the best long term option as I should have no other issues moving forward.I am confused and a little shocked as the inspection report from two years ago came back as structurally sound.
