Other factors of condition, schools, and rental increases are some of the other factors to consider that will not appear on a spreadsheet.

That is something to factor in as well.

@Kamryn DeVaultTo invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling.

Good morning, I appreciate your answers.

I've been talking with them all morning.

Another item to factor is cost.

I think the top factors are type of home (comparing single family to apartment is no longer done), overall size, and interior features like central AC, approximate age of renovation, etc.

No one mentioned this as a factor, but I assume this would severely limit/prevent me from deducting anything other than depreciation?

Even if the property is centered in a city with a population of 30k it may be considered rural due to other factors.

Good morning @Tonya Cox!
