That's super helpful - so essentially until I clear the depreciation recapture everything that's not part of the basis repay is going to at 25% or above, depending on where my overall bracket falls.

Lake Lure is pretty popular in the summer & fall.

Both are close to skiing, golf, hiking, fall foliage, mountain biking and more.

When factoring in risk, I agree with @V.G Jason The start of the fall....margin call.

I am about to do it again in the fall.

-Do you know rents are FALLING in parts of Florida, California, Texas, etc?

Are you more inclined to speculate that rates will fall lower (they should, I think they are likely to, but they may not) and you can refi, or would you rather pay a fee/premium to lock in where you're at now and hedge your risk of not being able to refi into a lower rate?

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

Hi Kevin,I'm a big fan of buying with cash and my thought process is quite contrary to everyone else's.Cash is KingCashflow is QueenLeverage can be a peasant lolOne can retire investing in Toledo with $1m in cash.Off-course, this all depends on how many villages you need to feed 🤓I have too many "villagers" on my back so it's a bit of a different story for me.Sub $100,000 markets like Toledo require volume to work and to be worth the risk if you are looking to buy and hold.Not much growth potential long term so I would consider it a strict cashflow play.Start slow and small and you can always scale up once you learn the market.Or call it quits and exit if you decide it's not for you.IMO, leverage should only be used to scale a portfolio and only after you have immersed yourself enough in a specific market.And only once you have decided that you want to stick around in that specific market and invest in it long term.Over the years, I've witnessed many folks use leverage and attempt BRRRR out of state only to fall short and say "the market sucks and it doesn't work".Nothing works unless you make it work and a market like Toledo can work better than any other market I know from a cashflow perspective.I've been investing since 2014 and flipped hundreds along with currently managing 400 SFH.Only this year have I started buying small multifamily properties.It's an adjustment and a different animal but let's just say it's in the same breed of animal lolImmerse yourself in a specific market and become an "expert" on the numbers in that market.Find off market deals, negotiate hard, buy with cash and buy quickly.You make money when you buy and not when you sell so you must buy cheap.There are many ways to skin a cat mate and this is how I get my fur lolWishing you much success

I am considering purchasing a triplex in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
