In December, my wife and I bought an old 1984 3/2 split level home with a walkout basement in a great area of Raleigh NC and spent the next 5 months renovating it, spending a little over $40k and pouring every ounce of energy and time we had into it.

And the agreement with the customer was $100 a ton to dispose of the junk . 

So even if you can make a little more, it will cost you more in time and energy.

I'm working towards Energy Star in my new 4 unit build because it's fairly easy to get slightly above code and cheap to have the raters come and certify you with the Energy Star label which would add value for the tenants especially for people with alergies or aesthma. 

Similar green energy investments could be considered if you can make the numbers work (credits on some types of low income housing can be north of 50%).Depending on how long these properties have been held, they could consider implementing cost segregation studies via a change in accounting method to accelerate some depreciation.The operating proceeds could be re-deployed into new properties where cost segregation is an option to accelerate depreciation to offset proceeds.If the properties are low basis and we are not maximizing the 199A deduction, maybe considering an S-Corp structure for management to be able to participate in retirement plans and also generate wages to use as a 199A base. 

I also wanted to compare the 4 different example plans to each other and eventually develop a customized plan for myself.In doing so however I’m noticing that the numbers didn’t add up from Example Plan #1 $1 Million in Net Worth in Rental Properties.In the example there is a discrepancy in the numbers when moving from the end of year 3 to the end of year 4.

Has rent control worked anywhere on the planet or fails every time in the short & long-term.Why not have price control on college tuition, food, interest rates, new vehicle prices and energy ?

Nothing custom or anything special. 

I don't think that will be that fast, because we need to solve the energy problem first.
