Saikhantal Yu Newbie looking at Elmhurst, Providence

If you’re not in the area often then yes, long term rentals may provide more stability for you.Either way, I do recommend that you buy based on reasonable long-term rent #s, not AirBNB #s, since you may not be able to do AirBNB if you’re not actively living in the property.As far as $2500-$3000 per month, if you mean gross rents then yes I think that’s do-able if you have decent-sized and -condition units and especially if you have 3 units with at least 2 beds per unit.Management fees are usually a percentage of collected rents, which is probably also true in NYC. 10% is “common” but some property managers may charge more or less depending on what services they offer, how many units they’d be managing for you (think quantity discount) and what you can negotiate.

29 March 2020 | 7 replies
Even if your tenant loses their job, the stimulus will ensure they get most - if not all - of their income back through unemployment and stimulus checks.Although late rent will be much more common, there's no reason why tenants shouldn't be able to pay their rent eventually and catch back up.
