Definitely do a search here for some recent stories on capital calls and risks with syndications...even on some that have been operating many years...

I have had wonderful renters each year, relocations to my area who need temporary housing, but this year have not had even a single inquiry (priced the same as previous years).

Even if I take the 15% tax hit I would make $32,000/ year on the remaining $400,000.    

I'm working on getting my bigger pockets pro account finalized even though I've been a member for about 1.5 years.

Just don't see the S-Corp or another LLC having a place here..I've heard tax advisors say it takes around $70k min of self employment income for the break even point for S-Corp to make sense.

When choosing tenants (I am in California), it's important to avoid even the appearance of discrimination, especially during in-person meetings.

But the competition is high so cash flow or even break even can be an unphill battle unless you're willing to put money into the property.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

Or even a contractor that does large additions and then move towards ground-up stuff.

I agree 250 MAP clients is a lot, even in a city the size of Pittsburg.
