You have to tell people if a toy is broken, missing pieces, or might explode when played with.

I sell insurance and prepare income tax returns but I am not an attorney and don't play one on television or radio.The Illinois Legislature has a law either pending or just passed that will GUT LLC protection.

If you rely on travel time to meet 750 hours, you're playing Russian roulette with the IRS.

I am playing a long game.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

This would be more of a multi-family buy and hold play. 

You also don't need to do a traditional long term strategy, is there a draw the  area that playing host to a traveling nurse or other professional/student would be interested? 

@Brady Ascheman To make the decision strictly from a Property Management standpoint you have to calculate your vacancy cost and cost to acquire a new tenant to know if a rental increase is even a smart play. 

Others noted that the appreciation play could make it worth keeping, I tend to look more heavily on appreciation since real estate investing is more of a long term game.

Then, once you incorporate an entity structure, that will play a part as well.Hope that helps!
