We saw huge appreciation in the 2018-2022 inflation run up, but that has significantly slowed these days in my opinion.From a rental perspective your monthly income per unit after all expenses with a typical 20% down payment is likely $100-300 when you find a property that will cash flow.

Here are a few tips to help you get started:Financing: Since you’ll be starting your internship soon, lenders may look at your projected income or require a co-signer until you have a longer work history.

If you continue filing taxes jointly the income you realize from your separate property will still need to be explained and redacted, regardless of the type of entity holding the real estate.

To collect all rents and other income from the Property and promptly and directly deposit suchrents in XXXX's Pooled Trust Account.3. 

If I can park the 388k ($415-27k) for one year at CD rate of 4.5% and then est 300k (after paying cap gain/depr recap) at 3.0% (assume CD rates lower) that interest income of about 24 months net of ordinary income tax is about the same as my current mortgage.Trying to play devil's advocate and think why selling this year does not make sense. 

Another option is investing in real estate through partnerships or fractional ownership, focusing on properties that yield cash flow or appreciation potential.For long-term growth, consider diversifying into assets such as private equity, tax liens, or even certain types of real estate that offer both capital appreciation and income potential over time.

I know for our portal in Buildium owners can log in and run different reports like income statements, profit and loss, general ledger, etc.

If you don't have enough to invest locally can you increase your income and savings to be able to invest in 6 months or a year? 

It will be cheaper than our mortgage and our incomes will be increasing.

Yes @Akash Sky that is considered ordinary income
