For a normal interior we would use the following- sprayer for ceilings (flat white) and for doors (switch to semi-gloss) - 3'' angled brush for cut in and trim- 19'' roller frame with 1/2'' nap cover for walls (this is where the real magic happens).

If a tenant is asking for rent reduction in normal times, then that's a red flag that you have to find a new tenant.

So, two questions arise; 1 - can this strategy work in a NORMAL period of economic activity, and 2 - can this strategy work in a difficult economic period?   

With median home prices hovering around all-time highs and inventory below normal, first time buyers in particular have been squeezed out of the market.

Quoted $5K in closing costs but ended up being $7k to pull $94K in equity out of home as a 2nd mortgage (additional cost was insurance). curious if the below info seems “normal”appreciate the feedback.

Cons - directing tri plex cash flow away from other investments for 4 years but also not impacting my W2 lifestyle. 

There is normally a specific timeframe to do so when the values come out. 

Ultimately, it's about finding the investing strategy that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and area of expertise/skills/knowledge.

After the eviction, you normally are left with some of their possessions (which is super frustrating). at that point, you would need to store them for a bit (ask your attorney) and then you can toss them if the tenant doesn't pick them up.

For example, (for a normal buyer) on a half duplex your total monthly payment to own a 300k place would be 2484 whereas rent on that same unit is going to be 2100 to 2200.
