Some of my clients love the cash flow in the east side neighborhoods over by Slavic Village and Broadway selling between 90-110k with rents up to $1,800+, but just really depends on the types of neighborhoods you're investing in and your risk / reward threshold. 

Here’s why and what alternatives might exist:Real Estate Syndication or Fund: Invest in funds that generate passive rental income, which can offset Schedule E losses.Real Estate Professional (REPS): Qualify for REPS to reclassify rental losses as non-passive, allowing them to offset active income.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Sadly it is always overvalued for the locals as well.For context: the same comparable duplex a client purchased for $750k last february 2023 in Lil Havana is now asking $925k.

The idea would be, say we wanted to buy a company for $100k and they have 100 clients.

who are their other clients?

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

A lot of my clients are seeing great success in C/C+ locations that are in the major areas of growth, so they get the mix of appreciation and cash flow. 

My friend said his client nearly bailed when she found unexpected wiring issues behind the kitchen walls..apparantly the seller hadn’t touched that electrical since the Reagan era..but with a patient electrician who understood the local code and a carpenter who improvised a shelving trick in the diningrom, they ended up selling above asking.Flipping and building can get tricky, especially once you start thinking bigger.

Our client gets OPM and they make money  but they have to run the asset.

It's also important to be aware of any deed restrictions or covenants that could impact your intended use of the property.A Personal Anecdote:I once assisted a client in Omaha who purchased a Freddie Mac home intending to convert it into a rental property.
