@Wenai Ji  I usually pro rate but it depends on what your lease says. 

Can't tell if that's worth it, although with today's rates, might just be the status quo.

On the other hand, C-class areas present the possibility of higher cash-on-cash returns due to lower purchase prices and the potential for gentrification, although they also face challenges like higher vacancy rates, tenant turnover, and increased maintenance needs.

I will be send you all DMs.What is the CoC that you are seeing currently in class B neighborhoods w the current interest rates (assuming 20-30% down). 

Short-term capital gains are taxed at ordinary rates and long-term gains are taxed at preferential rates. 

Today, you'll pay retail for a property and, you'll have to finance it (If it is financeable) at today's rates.

(Don't know your area or room rates.)-- I do think there are limits to the buy-where-you-live ethos.

Cashflowing within the first couple years is somewhat of an anomaly due to the low interest rates of the last couple years.

Not sure how long you have been around, but when markets soften, these types of assets get crushed because vacancy rates increase which causes condo fees to increase due to the amount of delinquency on the books.

Other house hacks I used VA loan and FHA so timing on this was perfect. 6.5% rate.
