When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

These are things at the high level I want to be looking at for all my real estate purchases. 

So advice to get the house against him and he will move out on his own is HIGHLY unlikely.  

They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.

If you believe your property’s assessed value is too high, you have the right to challenge it.

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate won't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.It's an incredibly powerful benefit if you do meet the criteria.

It's very difficult to get SFR to cash flow these days with interest rates as high as they are.

high interest rates have hurt cash flow and long term rentals are still a great investment... they're just not going to throw off rental income in the first few years of ownership.

Any MF of the quality and size (50 up) I would have been interested in would have been cash flow negative for the next 5 years or so, even with 30% down.
