Think about building down in homestead the numbers are even better, appreciation is better, etc. land is cheaper. you can build this for cheaper than $475k these days and add a unit. three unit. miami is on fire 

The rental property itself provides the tax benefits and not necessarily the entity structure.Depreciation should wipe out your cash-flow from being taxed, especially given the high prices of properties right now.You should have your tax returns reviewed if your properties are reporting positive taxable income.

I got my bill for my house in Lake Oswego from Safeco which I had had for years and it was always around 2k to 2.3 k  i get the bill its 6k.. i call my agent and told him no way.. and he hunted around and found me something maybe 500 cheaper .. so I thought I have a aaa card I know they sell insurance and are reputable.. walk in there 1800 bucks done and I have full  basement ( which is rare on a new home in Oregon) and they gave me a much higher insurance amount if my sump pump fails.. bottom line shop.u

I feel like I don't know what I don't know, and I feel that jumping straight to an investor-backed leveraged multifamily deal as a first timer might be a bit too much.Yet, I see no other way to enter the multifamily space as the entrance barrier is high, and cheaper deals in tertiary markets are often cheap for a reason.Would love to hear your thoughts on whether jumping straight to a multifamily syndication is reasonable, and if so, what would be the best path for me  to make a deal happen in the coming months?

Also, I have been extremely dissapointed with how high prices are to have people work on stuff, and then the cheaper guys seem to have horrible work quality. 

When my daughter started a STR company in NYC in 2013, most bookers were people looking for rooms that were cheaper than comparable hotel rooms.

I feel like this approach gives me the best bang for my buck since its cheaper than all new LVP and will be easier to maintain the hard working rooms.

If it is an obstacle, might be cheaper for you to go to the courthouse and learn the ropes that way. 

When was getting my most recent landlord insurance policy set up the person helping me mentioned that since I have several properties I might be getting to the point where getting a commercial insurance policy to cover all my rentals, rather than individual policies on each one, could be cheaper.

The contractor will be your best resource to understand cost of the design; the earlier you identify value engineering opportunities, the cheaper it will cost to incorporate (Google: ‘Macleamy Curve’).
