Most recent purchase was 9300 miles away. Being on opposite side of world requires many systems in place to remote manage, but technology these days have made it possible.

@Frank Wong

I would agree with Frank on this one. I was in a similar situation a few years ago where I chose Option B and D. While I scaled up from one condo in San Francisco to several MF properties in Midwest and Arizona, I now have 20x the hassle.

As people always say, it depends on your strategy. Are you content with steady income with fewer headaches or do you want to put in the hard work for higher revenue.

@Rich Somers I typically have an electrician and HVAC specialist perform additional inspections. I have a number of occasions where the specialists identified material defects that the general inspector missed.

@Joe Splitrock deferred taxes due to depreciation offset is still a great gift. Time value of money always favors cash today over depreciation recapture years down the line.
