As someone mentioned, the only thing passive about real estate investing is the tax treatment. 

Here’s the situation:Purchase Price: $540,000Down Payment: 20%Mortgage Rate: 7.125% (30-year fixed)Monthly Expenses (Mortgage, HOA, Taxes, Insurance): $3,706Realistic Max Rent: $3,000As you can see, I’m currently short $706/month even with max rent.

Do you have a current need for that cash flow generated from the tax savings?

*Soon after, I will be moving to the South, where I will purchase a relatively moderate-priced home (less than $350,000), likely a single-family, possibly a duplex.~ I will most likely purchase the first home (multi-family) using a bridge-DSCR loan combo or a FHA203K (3.5-20% down). 

For example, I invest in Indianapolis and there's not many 3+ bedrooms with 2+ bathroom MTRs so if I was looking to cohost I would go after a larger property to target the undersupplied market.

After much research, I am interested in any insight or information on Clarksville Tennessee.

Now, after doing this several times my success rate is around 1 out 5.   

I bought these two houses that were next door to each other with a partner using hard money (3pts, 13% interest, and 1% extension fee every 3 months after the initial 6 month term).
