A little worried about flipping in this market but if I buy right it will eliminate that worry. 

If you were to eliminate properties built pre 1900 you’d be eliminating much of the market and some great opportunities.

To eliminate potential conflict, you should first properly terminate the original.

The idea is that you will live in one of the units while renting out the others, and hopefully the other tenant's rent helps to lower your cost of living, or eliminate it completely.

Getting a multi-unit would be an excellent choice, in fact, I convinced my wife to do this on our next purchase to eliminate or reduce our monthly costs.

@Brenainn Kilchoer I would not waste time trying to pay down the loan to eliminate PMI.

Also eliminates any issues with code enforcement if the boys forget to mow the lawn or spray for weeds. 2) Smaller yard / patio = fewer problems with noise complaints (which Tempe has really cracked down on).

Most tenants broke the lease and they will move when they want so now I start with a year to eliminate people looking for shorter stays and then just auto renew at M2M. 

It's my understanding that you you can eliminate the PMI once you hit 20-25% equity.

Is the (your) long-term strategy to eliminate platforms like AIR and VRBO?
