Lot split by far has largest upside, but it is also the most work with the highest cost.  

You are going to be thousands in the whole before you ever start and any cashflow you get from a rental will be eaten up in tax and corporate filings.

I currently own a SFH in Staten Island, NY, I am a real estate fanatic ever since I could remember.

They're paid by the job and if their performance ever decreases (which can happen - they're great for a time and eventually for whatever reason their quality, timeliness, etc declines) then it's easier to phase them out & replace them with a different crew. 

I always see people posting to stay away from D/F neighborhoods, but I don't ever see how exactly to determine that - I've read a breakdown of what each class entails, I guess I'm just looking for a tool that tells me that instead of trying to figure it out on my own in an area that is not well known to me. 

I'm reviewing my rental property insurance after having gone through issues with the first ever claim on my current policy, which we're finding out has poor claims service and lacks ordinance or law coverage.

@Kyler Cook Most AWESOME thread I've seen on BP - ever!!! 

Lack of capital is my largest blocker to entering the real estate market right now, so less than 20% is appealing.

@Kyler J SloanDid you ever build that treehouse?

Have you considered, Maybe you’re trying to squeeze ever last penny out of the house and then some?
