The booker is less concerned about the price as they are getting the workers' housing settled efficiently.

They also require less time compared to owning a rental outright.The reasons that I don't like REIT's as you mentioned in your post is that they are not efficient from a tax standpoint.From my understanding, REITS pay ordinary dividends and not qualified dividends.

Typically a worthwhile real estate broker will save you time through efficiency and add at least equivalent value in actual dollars through effectiveness.  

I manually looked at all of the listings in order to find and exclude homes with significant improvements.

The property prices are quite affordable compared to places like Minneapolis, so you might find that your cash flow improves significantly.

I'm an active investor so I spend the time/energy in sourcing and managing my own rentals, I am also in a very favorable location to own rentals here in Memphis so I do it myself. 

As long as the arrangement is legitimate, you'll still be able to deduct eligible expenses like property taxes and maintenance costs.In terms of accessibility modifications, such as adding ramps, these could likely be deductible as capital improvements on a rental property.

So, identifying the low hanging fruit identifies the most gainful improvements you can make. 4.

These are building improvements that likely won't impact your rent collection but you are still obligated to share in the costs.

Since your last residency was in 2020, you do not meet this requirement, so the exclusion likely won’t apply.You'll need to calculate the capital gains based on the difference between the sale price and your adjusted cost basis (original purchase price plus improvements and less depreciation taken).
