Is there typically an ROI?

I am swamped right now with my rental renovations & furnishings I am finishing up plus I typically work late, so I haven't been able to make it much lately.

The cons as i see it include loosing the 2 of 5 year cap gain exception, typically not an ideal rental because the emphasis at purchase was buying a good home for your family and not a rental with optimal return (my ex-home consistently has the lowest cash flow for equity in my RE portfolio), not disconnected enough from the property causes addition angst on damage and may result in over improvement.  

You must exclude the land value, typically allocated based on property tax assessments or an appraisal, as land is non-depreciable.

I think this is pretty typical of the ultra wealthy..

I'm not a typical Realtor perse looking for clients so I don't need the trust factor that may go with the REALTOR symbol in my marketing or anything.

A good investor friendly agent typically does “driving for dollars,” from what I’ve heard, and they might have a direct line on off market properties.Eyes on the Future - At 19, you can stack up quite the portfolio over the next decade.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 1-3 years for positive cashflow, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, immediate cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Typically in my experience EVERYONE is happy to help.

Typically the banks that say they can get it done in a few days I havent had luck with when getting creative as they underwrite the easy deals quickly.
