I care most about the Internal Rate of Return (helps me determine how long to hold a property), the cash on cash return (helps me decide why this investment vs other options, and it also takes into consideration appreciation of the property!)

Hey Keegan for the best return, I would say AZ.

Many desirable neighborhoods that offer a consistent predictable return on investment.  

Out of curiosity would anyone be willing to share any experience with non-paying renters who've vacated the property prematurely?

A 4 bedroom would have you competing with larger condos or townhouses with pools, a much lower rate of return. 

Then they'll charge an additional $2,400 for filing tax returns. 

Did you have taxable income that could’ve been reduced utilizing tax strategies?

Deals like this do exist out there.In a previous post, I put a graphic of my returns, and you accused me of using data for single family returns.

This deal aligns with my strategy of adding value and achieving robust returns.

And while a 1031 exchange isn’t an option, some people explore alternatives like installment sales to spread out taxes or even tweaking the investment structure so your returns are treated as interest instead of equity.There are definitely some creative strategies out there.
