And personally I put way more weight on buying the right location as a buy and hold investor than saving some dollars on the front end. 

What we did was open a holding company, and the LLC that owns the RE and management company under that.

Most turnkey companies proforma does not tell the complete story and that is why is called "PROFORMA" OR "PROJECTION", they don't account for the true vacancy, leasing fees, holding costs, and Headache factors that come with a Class C and D properties and neighborhoods.Hopefully, they can help you get to 100% occupancy and sell the property so that you can re-invest in a better neighborhood and relatively newer property like 2020 or newer if is possible in that market, or just go to another market you understand better or have some kind of connection with.All the best and keep us posted on your progress.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment in Keene.

Determine the cost of construction (hiring a contractor in the GNO area is going to start around $165-175/sqft to build) and be sure to include all holding costs, as well as interest in the loan.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in The Villages.

I'm someone who does well with coaching and direction so trying to piece things together on my own has kept my investing journey in a hold pattern of learning.  

These properties tend to hold value better and offer stronger appreciation compared to duplexes or small multifamily units.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

This demographic is projected to keep increasing over time, so I would do whatever you can to hold onto this property (ie cash flow well).Furnishing 700 sqft with PB or West Elm (you and my wife would get along great, Bonnie) won't be price-prohibitive and well worth the cost.
