@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

Less commonly, I’ve seen investors prioritize the 70% rule when evaluating deals.With so many different benchmarks out there, I’m curious—what metrics do you personally prioritize when analyzing deals?

My personal goal is to build a rental protfolio, but I'm open to anything.Thanks in advance. 

@Ben Callahan, you could find a partner who is looking to buy a similar property, be a co-signer to your partner, and have that person live in it and be a primary resident. 

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

Then I sit down with a spreadsheet and analyze all parcels for an area and generate a list of target properties right from my computer.  

Office space is gutsy at this time with many companies working remotely, maybe part of your investment was to bet that people will be coming back to work in person.  

An LLC shields personal assets from business liabilities, while S-Corp taxation allows you to reduce self-employment taxes by taking a reasonable salary and distributing remaining profits as distributions, which aren’t subject to payroll taxes.

@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

I personally have success in doing flips with my partner here in Ohio.Lakewood and Edgewater are gentrifying neighborhoods in Cleveland.
