Post '08' people had the luxury to analyze for "cheap" vs the pre-'08' pricing and feel a sense of security in there current price acquisitions. 

Keep us posted on how that situation goes for you.

@Mike Terry your post is confusing!

Only 5 of you from OH posted?

I listen to the problem solving episodes for the same reasons I read forum posts.

To maintain control and avoid being locked into larger deals, consider directly owning replacement properties or exploring a partial 1031 exchange while carefully structuring syndication investments.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.14 properties - presume these had to have been single families.Oh, I'm modifying the original post to mention leaning toward creating a trust which we manage..so we would own very little yet manage the trust which owned investments and such.Here is what I understand/misunderstand (better or worse) on moving every 2 years (as we are open to that albeit pia.) • Multi-unit would only support a %, so a quad would 25% and prorated over all years of ownership....witteling advantage to not worth the effort. • Single unit properties get pro-rated.

This is a more advance tenant placement tactics people who lack the experience or with an innocent mind can't read others properly should do more often before they relying on their read. 

My current town/county does not have much work.Sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance for any input/comments.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
