Figure out what grade of property you guys want.

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.

I found that it is highly dependent on location and secondarily on time of year.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Costs are too high and I'm into this for over 100K.I have feelers out for someone who might accept my lot as participation for an equity agreement in a new build.

Sources of investment propertys and yhield based upon a buy and hold strategy,I hope you can help me.Wow,Its been a while since I have been back home haha2+ years now lolIts too expensive IMO and many folks are buying high and hoping to sell higher.Hoping a property will go up in value is not a strategy.

Quote from @Itay Heled: I manage nearly 400 rentals and demand is high.

Here is a fresh example, and it actually came from another tax firm (not mine) specializing in real estate.Let me briefly tell you why I crossed out their pitch:Strategy 1: depends on your 2025 projected net income vs your 2024 net income, among many other factorsStrategy 2: can backfire amidst the uncertainty of future tax rules regarding bonus depreciation, and also ignores alternativesStrategy 3: no rush to do it before December 31stIf you decide to continue reading, I will give you a high-level overview of the most common EOY tax strategies, obviously without an actual discussion of each one.

The initial video that I took of the home had 510k views on Tiktok because of how much stuff was left and how bad of shape the home was in.

I know she has a great following on YouTube and does make lots of videos.
