When I studied Econ in college, we used an average 3.1% inflation rate as an assumption.

I find real estate investing really really slow and boring.

I would do discounts on grass upkeep for sure, but I think single-family rentals need more curb appeal to get that right renter so some listing landscaping could help that instead of just a boring facade.

I follow some real estate investors and want to put some of the strategies I learned into play.A little bit about me: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to study electrical engineering and always tried to learn how to better manage my personal finances.

Forget the bs nonsense being pushed by gurus - study PRINCIPLES of real estate, real estate FINANCE, and real estate LAW.  

However, you can use a cost segregation study to break the property into different class lives and claim more depreciation up front.

I am thinking about multifamilies in other areas semi-close to Philly, but I will have to study the markets for sure.

Financing is something I’m studying now. 

I may want to do a cost segregation study and look into tax benefits.

Pay an Immobiliarie to do the study.
