I have chosen to invest in smaller properties at higher cap rates because those are still available.

@Christopher ParsonsHope you've found a VA or bookkeeper to help you out with this.All of our clients are on Quickbooks, so I can only speak to that.If you've chosen to go the QBO route:- be sure your chart of accounts is sufficient.

Also, the $250k price was chosen so that the property would generate cash flow for the wife based on $2k rent/mo. 

There are a ton of options here, but I’ve chosen to leverage the passive investing model where you can spread your funds across multiple asset classes, operators, geographies, and properties in increments as low as $5,000-$10,000.

@Sergio Jordan ManzoCurious to why you have chosen Austin, TX?

We've chosen to turn the management over to well vetted 3rd parties that are true experts at management and that is their whole business.

Also, using historical precedent, have other like-kind/large-scale businesses (FedEx, GEODIS, Home Depot, etc) chosen to open their own distribution centers within close proximity to the ADC? 

If I have dividend stocks, bonds, or am earning a return on crypto (defi/staking/etc), none of that is disqualifying.Assuming managing my rentals didn't prevent me from working a full time job (thus qualifying as self employment), it shouldn't matter.There is a lot of anecdotal tales out there, but I can't find anything concrete, which is what I'm looking for.

Residential RE, Undeveloped Land, and Cryptos!

If I had to go back and do it all over again, I probably would have chosen Roth.
