Since your units are brand new, that’s already a huge draw for renters, low maintenance and modern finishes are very appealing.

Positive is that they are passive, but the negative is that you are locked into low returns 5-7% range. 

Love the position you’re in—low debt, steady income, clear “why.”

If not, your DTI will be low.

This low amount trapped permits a magnified return on all sources of return going forward.If we go with the premise that this brrrr seems pretty good, then it should be no surprise the investor wants to repeat the process as quick as possible.Note I am not saying he should take overt risks, but reasonable, calculated risks are what successful investors do regularly.  

For low-cash entries, target JVs where you bring deal finding and ops while partners bring capital, or pursue seller finance/sub-2 on smaller 5–20 unit value-add to learn management at scale.

I have to finish remodeling the upper unit (my unit) and the lower unit lease was just renewed, they're quiet, pay on time, low maintenance, been there for ten years and we just renewed.

I recently began learning about real estate investing and plan to start with a small multifamily property, ideally a duplex or triplex, through an FHA or other low down payment program.I am currently reading some of Brandon Turner’s books to understand the fundamentals of house hacking, deal analysis, and property management.

A little late to the party on this one, but hey, congrats on having a property that cash flows and low interest rate - you must've jumped in at the right time.
