My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects. 

Using quality yet affordable materials can transform a space without excessive costs.I could remember working on a property an investor purchased.

Aggressive pricing is necessary to achieve this, so it's important to ensure the property is realistically priced in line with market standards, which often is not necessarily what you're hoping to sell for. 

I'm exploring the demand for 3D virtual tours and high-quality real estate photography for both real REIs and (REAs).

Our area, Destin FL. is somewhat new for AvantStay and they have had some growing pains with their resources in this area, BUT it has not impacted our experience or their quality of service.

@David YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

Not the case.Just like everything else, there are always different quality of Section 8 tenants.  

Again, this is due to how long it was taking to get work done, the quality and lack of communication (I'm happy to post examples as well), and frankly, the quality of work expected once I realized how many things I was not told about before the purchase.However, you did not offer in any way to address issues left by the prior tenant and made it clear that it was my responsibility.

When making offers I want to utilize the standard 70%-ARV-Profit formula.
