Quote from @Adam Macias: A 50-year mortgage sounds like affordability — but it’s really it'll be debt that never ends. lolOn paper, stretching a mortgage from 30 years to 50 lowers the monthly payment, yes.But in reality, you’re paying far more in interest while barely building equity for decades.If you buy a house at 25 years old if you're lucky, you'll be 75 when the mortgage term ends...It’s housing that feels like ownership but functions more like renting — just with a longer contract and a higher total cost.The real problem isn’t the length of the loan.It’s the affordability crisis that’s forcing people to consider lifetime debt as a solution.Until we address prices, wages, and supply, extending loan terms only delays the inevitable...The further elimination of the middle class chasing the American Dream of owning a home. 

Section 8/HCV programs can provide stable, long-term tenants and government-backed rent, but as you’ve experienced, policy and administrative changes can create unpredictability.It’s a reminder that while government-backed programs reduce tenant risk, they don’t eliminate operational or policy risk.

Hello @Henry Lazerow - You are correct about the risks of allowing pets in your STR; however, I've found that to NOT do so eliminates far too many of what would otherwise be good bookings.

Have successfully removed/eliminated all rats via bait stations then removed all cabinetry, baseboards, and drywall to 40 inches to expose studs and baseplates for spraying, and remove corpses (30+).  

Since many real estate investors pay zero in taxes....you would be eliminating many people from these forums from the voting booth.

Guidelines to follow:Only buy in low-cost markets if your costs stay under 75% even after paying for two major capital improvements, such as a new roof and a new water service line.Make sure you can eliminate all obvious safety and health hazards—like broken sidewalks, missing railings, lead paint, or poor lighting.

The interest rate is at 3% on the home and doing a cash out refi would eliminate that low interest rate.

Can get them out easily if there is an issue because the roommates will make it uncomfortable.  

Make improvements to the property and eliminate all buyer objections to achieve the highest retail price if you sell.
