There are certain markets where the overnight rental market is strong enough that an appraiser MAY consider income as a consideration in value, but that would also depend on the loan the buyer is obtaining.  

Generally, they will overnight (via Fedex or UPS) the documents to you.  

These however tend to be cross pollinated with companies in different industries.The El Camp project I noted above and my concept is to be industry specific so we may have social events that networking events that can be mutually beneficial among the group.thanks for the feedback!

My go forward strategy is take these homes that are in good condition, maybe even lightly renovate them and turn them into standard rentals, on the older ones there still may be resale or scrap value I'll take that on a case by case basis and then begin to Vet incoming tenants and establish a "housing code" so to speak going forward on appearance...this will be a multi year strategy as I can't just kick the old homes out and find great new tenants over night but I'm confident over 5 years I will greatly improve the appearance and there for the rent value

These "boot camp" people are frauds who are just out to rip you off.

This is an easy answer for me, since in a way, I start over on a regular basis.If I had nothing, and this includes no knowledge, I would start by:1 - learning: A - How money works, B - How to analyze markets (as in zipcodes), and how to then find Micro-Markets2 - Then, I would develop a plan of investing based on the two Core Knowledge Bases above.3 - Next, I find my money, as in cash partners and credit partners, all to be implemented on a project by project basis.4 - Now, I camp out in the market(s) I found in step 1, and invest following the plan I developed in Step 2

I'm in the BRRRR camp personally.  

I am originally from Lancaster, PA, but currently live in Southern California and work for a beach volleyball camp.  

The fees can triple overnight and make a great deal into a looser. 

I dont figure income tax advantage, I see that as a bonus, since it can change overnight with the stroke of a politicians pen. most make little to no money.For example i just saw a deal close in town here for $610K using only the sellers numbers its $2,500 positive per YEAR, no i did not mistype this, i ran it by my banker (very bright commercial guy) and he knew the property well, he said to stay away, it doesnt make any money. this is pretty typical of what I have seen over the past 11 years.
