At 6.25%, you're essentially paying 6.25% to keep that capital flexible.

It seems both properties are a complete mess and the two principles are suing each other.

I am really considering making a call at this point because I just don't like the principle.

Along the way we developed a deep appreciation for building systems, teams, and long-term value - principles we’re now applying to real estate investing.Our long-term goal is to build a 2,500+ door portfolio while partnering with great people along the way.Our primary strategy right now is coliving, which we’ve found to be one of the most efficient ways to generate strong cash flow while providing high-quality, affordable housing in strong growth markets like Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas (to name a few).

The core principles are the same — buy right, manage risk, create value — but the modeling gets dramatically more complex.With a rental property, you're analyzing what already exists.

It's the piece most investors skip because they're planning for the flip to work — not for what happens when it doesn't.The structure that makes this stickEvery module in the series follows the same format: Outcome, Principle, Content Knowledge, Vocabulary, Action Items, and a Goal.

I know certain parts can be more cyclical than others, but some could be cleaning up shop & optimizing more to reduce their risk & protect their capital.I have followed most of the same principles they have taught me on my own. 

Ensuring that you still follow prudent principles in leasing out the property still applies.Are you just wanting all the extra cash flow to include the extra write offs of owning the property?

If your mortgage payment (PITI) on a $404K loan at let's say 6.5-7% is probably around $2,800-3,000/month, and your roommates are covering 100% of that, you're essentially living for free while building equity.Here's the part that gets me excited about Hyattsville specifically — it's right next to the DC metro, and that area has been appreciating steadily.

Also, on a fully amortized 30 year loan, the principle pay-down is negligible in those early years of the loan.
