But if you don't have an out, you may find the impending economic downturn and the rapidly growing number of eager Airbnb wannabes and a lot of risk you probably don't even understand can turn this into a disaster.

Considering we may be moving into a more uncertain economic cycle in the next 12-18 months, could factor that into your thought process as well even though nobody really knows what's going to happen and when.  

If you look historically in the past 25 year's Boston hasn't seen the economic fluctuations like other markets. 

. #3 - Personal preference, on pure economics, just compare the interest you pay on student loans to that of ROI you'd get investing the same $5K in another property.

Sounds like a good deal to me as long as you’re confident in the numbers and the area has strong population/economic growth. 

HR is a head ache with $12 an hour employees in a strong economic environment.

@Jonathan R. don’t know if you heard about what was put out at the WSU economic outlook conference.

That is mostly an economical decision a lot of landlords struggle with, because they are within their rights, maybe even feel violated and want to put the hammer down, but at the end of the day was cheaper and easier for me - and they did not trash the place while moving out, in fact they cleaned very well.I work with a lot of young investors and also house hackers in Milwaukee and sometimes we run into seniority issues with long term tenants; therefore, in my experience it is generally advisable to cycle tenants out and perhaps make some improvements before you put the units back on the market.

I think an economical solution for many people would be a trailer.

It goes without saying I understand the economics are very market specific, but can you point out any flaws in my logic?
