The options we're considering are either a multi-family unit in the city or a short term rental property in the city or up to 2 hours drive from Sewickley.However, we're in need of professional guidance to help us make the best choice for our family and investment goals.If you were in our shoes, what would you do next? 

=> Depends on whether you're in a double-close state or not.

Hello BP Community,I've been following the social media channels closely and decided to hop on here and say hello 👋🏻I'm Marco, and I'm 29; I was born in Italy, traveled the world with my wife for the last four years, and eventually settled in the Canary Islands for 1.5 years.I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and have worked in tech for the last five years, which eventually granted me an NIW green card.We (my wife and I) hold a $1.2M+ portfolio of 4 self-managed short-term rental properties (across the Canaries and Italy) and a long-term property in Rome, Italy, that we rent out to students.

The contract ratification took 4 months,  now it is clear to close. now, I have to purchase it in less than a month.

My house is in a very desirable Philly suburb - great schools, close to I-95, lots of Wall Street/LawFirm/ professional types. 

The days of oversaturated vacation and short term rental markets might soon be coming to a close. 

This way you will only need to bring 15k for every 100k of purchase price (plus closing costs - figure 3% of loan amount). 

Used that money and just put a 4th one under contract that will close those week which will bring my monthly income to $2,350/month.

The house I closed there in December (at 8.5%) ended up with DSCR of 1.3The other alternative is most of the money for the down payment is in MSFT and GOOG so I could leave it in the stock market.
