It was a risk but thankfully paid off for me.

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

Although I saved 20-30k by doing everything myself and learned a ton in the process, doing that sucked up all my time and potentially stopped me from buying multiple multis last year.

I certainly can see how this all happened though Guru's charging folks how to be a synidcator so lots of beginners.. then of course competing offerings and knowing how investor gravitate to the highest returns without really understanding the risks etc.

If you have someone funding the entire deal, you have ZERO risk in the deal and get 50% of the profits - run with that.Lets look at it another way.

For example, if you are in a 24% tax bracket and the house is valued at $200,000, your potential tax savings might be around $48,000 (24% of $200,000), but that's a rough estimate and assumes you're itemizing.It's always a good idea to consult a tax professional to ensure you're maximizing your deduction and following all the necessary procedures for your donation.

This translates to high rental demand and potential for appreciation.Diverse Opportunities: From bustling metropolises like Miami and Orlando to charming beach towns and vacation destinations, Florida caters to a wide range of investment strategies.

This amount provides a reasonable safeguard against potential claims if something goes wrong, like an accident or damage to the property caused by the tenant. 

It sounds like you’re in a great position to succeed, given your extensive renovation expertise.As a fellow real estate investor, I completely understand how challenging it can be to choose the right design elements, especially when you want to make a space appealing to potential buyers.

If the stars align, we estimate that we could potentially earn $1,000 to $1,500 per year from the property.
