The rents must be kept at full market so that a max rent increase may get the marginal tenant to leave.

I have an 8+ac parcel in Dripping Springs, TX (outside of Austin) that has two small STRs built on it. Both units are approximately 400 sqft, "yurt-style" cabins with large decks. We have 2 full years of revenue histo...

If this property won't cash flow as a long term rental, you might want to sell and 1031 exchange into a more profitable property.

Also the school districts have been increasing property taxes in A LOT of investment properties thus eating some of our profits. 

- Go look carefully at the numbers and you'll see this.If you could acquire more rentals and they threw off $500 profit each/monthly, how many would you need to make a living?

(Maybe the seller has a great interest rate, but you would have to pay twice that amount which wouldn't be profitable.)11) Crime in the neighborhood. 12) High turnover in tenants (raising your expenses.)

Overall, managing an apartment with Section 8 tenants can be super rewarding, but it takes careful planning to keep things running smoothly and profitable.

Well it looks like non-profits are exempt....So I suppose Dope Traffickers will just buy an ongoing concern non profit and operate that with ownership as an IBC (International Business Corporation) in some privacy haven, or Russia, or Yemin or somewhere (if those places have privacy laws???)

I also know finding a quadplex as a first property in Orange County isn’t going to be easy, but I’m open to hearing people’s thoughts.My goal isn’t to turn a profit right away—I know properties here might not have positive cash flow for a few years.

However, we also recognize the time value of money, so while it might pencil out to turn a profit, but we get an immediate payback versus a six to nine month holding time, it might make more sense to sell them both as bare land.
