At the end of the day the buyers ended up filling it in because their college age kids said they weren’t going to use it.

Put more down on properites (very anti a lot of advice you get on here) to keep your monthly nut down.

@Nancy Bachety, Nicholas is correct, if your rentals are short term and the income is treated as active - you will be eligible for a Solo 401k, which will enable you to shelter up to $61,000 of your income per year (depending on your age and net business income).

This also allows you to buy life insurance at your early age in better health than you will likely be in the future.

For all of them... what are the age of the systems (roof, a/c, pool equipment, water heater etc.

For B/C properties that have some age, you need to UW a 45% expense ratio into your calculations.For A and/or newer properties, you can use 30-35%.

I am 22 years of age.

@Richard Chae, Have you considered installing anti-slip tape on the tile at the entryway?

But I am a devote ANTI Facebook person.My industry insists that I avoid social media and many of my peers have proven to me why.

Bottom line, for someone you age the sky is the limit when it comes to this sort of out of the box thinking.
