The property tax savings are going to be in the ball park of 40-60%, but to be safe you should double your expected repairs budget when calculating the NOI.If you have any other questions, or want a more in-depth response, I would love to help!

Hope this helps.

I've helped a lot of investors in your area, and I find that many of them end up purchasing rentals in the Central Valley for the very reason you mentioned.

@Jay Hinrichs thanks, it's very helpful to understand the ways this may play out. the bottom line is that, at this point, i can't count on either owning the property outright or getting my funds back until 30 days AFTER the judge approves the sale.  

A few years ago I stopped coaching, I sold my print marketing company (Yellow Letters) to care for my wife. She went through a couple brain surgeries and major post issues. She’s better now and I’m friggin BORED.

build to rent is great. they are an intermediary that help investors contract direct with turn key new build. they are pretty sophisticated we have sold a house so far and we are looking to sell other multifamily with them. there is a vetting process and as an intermediary they don't control construction they help vet builders and establish relationships. they have a big team. the other builder I've never heard of but unless you can see your house I wouldn't touch it. rent to retirement has a strict policy of 90 days until certificate of occupancy until they will send a deal out they are good at what they do and I'd recommend them. they have options all over the country and established relationships.
