I just got quoted $160000 for a four unit plus in law in Brookfield including permit and all related fees. for an extra $3500 I can add two EV chargers, but will receive a $16,000 credit from ComEd.

Allow a pets and I think you will have a great spot.Would adding that extra space/ spending that money be reflected in an appropriate increase in the property value too?

Besides needing to be extra careful about the above, this process works well for me and I usually find a great tenant during the first open house.

It is 'lost' when investing within a retirement account.2) If the extra rate of return is about 1%-2% it may make sense given all the extra worth involved such as setting up and paying for the SDIRA account and then potentially having to file certain tax forms if your income is subject to Unrelated Business Taxable Income.

Finding an investment isn't even half the equation.

Sometimes it's better to only put the minimum down because the break isn't significant enough when you put down the extra 5%. 

When analyzing a new build/“build to rent” property as a rental, what percentages/amounts are others using for:-Maintenance/Repairs-Vacancy-CapexI’d assume it’s less than than existing homes, but by half or is it safer to use the standard percentages?

But my experience is like yours 90% of guests are reasonable, and the other 10% cost me an extra $100-200 for the month stay.

That property has tenants which would cover the monthly payments at its current rent which is well below market value but the property would need love to justify an increase in rent.Very grateful to have made this much progress in the span of less than a year and a half and currently just trying to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row to ensure I can build these three properties into a stable few investments.Looking forward to the future,Austin

I couldn't justify the extra cost by outsourcing until I tried a large mailing myself.
