@Stephen Richerson I love the creative changes you made to the layout. It looks like it really opened up the space! Great job!!

My favorite part about this is that you were able to identify the direction you were headed and adjust your course accordingly. It’s also great to hear that you have factored giving into your financial plans. My wife and I did the same and it’s awesome to be a part of something bigger than ourselves!

Many blessings to you,

@Chris LeMay - Congrats on your first deal! Hope you find some really good tenants and prosper with this investment!

@Steven Smith

Thanks for sharing!

Ultimately, you gotta do what you think is right.

Another point to consider, if you haven't already, is this:

You are estimating a negative cashflow of $200-$300. Is that under the best conditions? Have you accounted for vacancy and any needed repairs that may come up? (Example, if one or more units is NOT being rented out, how long can you sustain that additional cost.)

Also, do you have a solid exit strategy? If you're not living in it forever and paying the additional rent yourself, as you mentioned, will someone else be willing to front the higher cost for that unit or is that going to be up to you?

Just some thoughts!

I wish you the best!!

@Sergio Guzman I just finished Brandon Turner’s book, “THE BOOK ON Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down” and I have to say it was filled with insight into this very topic!

@Christopher Manansala That’s great! Glad it worked for you. I have family in FL and I know there are still tons of affordable opportunities there! We sold our home here in WA since prices were too high to resist and we have been searching diligently for the past year or so but haven’t found anything else here in our price range. So, now we are looking at FL and GA...
