My ultimate goal is to acquire enough real estate to achieve financial freedom, allowing me to travel, provide a comfortable life for my family, and teach my children about discipline, financial literacy, and the wealth-building potential of real estate.I’m here to learn, share, and connect with others who share this passion.

There are times when we see deals on the table that won't produce any cashflow or not enough cashflow to meet our target hurdle rate but the tax benefits or appreciation potential may make the deal attractive. 

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

I'm looking at investing in several out-of-state markets (potential BRRRR strategy in mind), I have a list of qualifiers that I'm sussing out to determine viable markets but would love to know: what data helps in determining a good market to invest?

If you have a potential tenant that "might not" be a good payer, just don't sign a lease. 

In the next few years, there's going to be so much appreciation potential that it's going to absolutely blow up Columbus.

Additionally, your brother would inherit your cost basis for the gifted portion, potentially leading to higher capital gains taxes if he sells later.

And there are still deals here that cashflow and have appreciation potential at affordable price points. 

And before getting too far along in the process it might be worth doing a title search to check on any potential liens on the property.
