Include all expenses like property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management fees if you’re not managing it yourself.Network Like Crazy: You’ve already made a great first step by joining this group!

Sometimes the recorders office may not be online but the tax appraiser is.

@Kevin Hoover, with certain types of entities it is possible to contribute property to and distribute property from that entity without triggering a tax event. 

There may be tax implications to that maneuver, so check with a CPA.

And, factor in the depreciation and other tax benefits, deductions, home office, vehicle expenses, etc. 

Also, I believe the tax benefits are horrible compared to the states, but I'm not too sure.

The Big plus is the tax deductions they will be able to take as well!!! 

I handle hundreds of insurance claims, resident compensation, crime, and pricing… so I am very familiar with the system and reasons behind policies. 

One thing to add is that when you buy a new build, your PITI will likely not be factoring in the correct state tax number.

So, it would then potentially cost you a penalty for early withdrawl and also income tax owed on it.
