They’re fully renovated (or in good condition) and often come with tenants already in place, so you can start making rental income right away. 

@Anshuman ThakurThere are some very good advantages to investing in Nevada, low property taxes, no income tax, and landlord friendly.

Hi Everyone,I am looking to get started with doing rental arbitrage with my cousin who is a Green Card holder, however, I am on a H1B Visa which restricts my ability to earn income "actively".

Many voucher holders also work and so sometimes they will have a higher amount to spend than someone who doesn’t work because they can pay up to a % of their net income from the HA’s calculations, often 30-40%.

I have dabbled in real estate, but never heard of brrrr before now, and transparently never did much research outside of knowing that property ownership was a way to reduce my taxable income. 

I evaluate the performance of every income generating property that I own. 

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

Helps with your debt to income, better opportunities at cash flow, and typically requires less down to purchase.In regards to challenges, I usually build in an extra 10-15% to deal with things that I can't see behind the walls, including dry rot, electrical or plumbing issues, etc.

If the Transunion report verifies everything, and they meet my other criteria (credit scores, proof of income, background and eviction checks...) then we are good.In my 15+ years at this, I have found a very strong correlation of credit score and tenant quality.
