At the end of the day, I was looking to generate discussion just like this so thanks for the comment! 

If buying rent-ready properties is the route I take normally how many properties in the portfolio would be best to really generate cash flow? 

I'm not sure how much I'd expect to pay for closing cost.One is without payment assistance; the other is with the new generation loans in Minnesota. 

Or figure out how projects are developed and get one "most of the way" (land leased, site planned, permitted, power purchase agreement signed) and then sell the deal to a big developer.My perspective: My W2 for the last 8 years is environmental and development consulting for oil & gas, renewables generation, transmission, and commercial RE development.

I live in a 4 season mountain town and we were only able to generate about 30% occupancy.

I feel like I'm in a rat race with my W2 job and trying to find deals in real estate and generate other income (stocks are my current choice). 

AND you can "pass" this properties to your kiddos (generational wealth!

Purpose & Use DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio): Used by lenders to assess whether a property generates enough income to cover its debt payments (principal and interest).

This deal highlighted our ability to identify market-ready properties and move swiftly to generate a solid profit in a short time frame.

These losses get carried forward each year and can be used to offset gains from any rental property sale, not just the one that generated the loss.
