However, it is ideal for the high-income earners (and thus high tax liability). 

Inventory is low and people ideally want SFRs.

However, unlike property loans from banks that will lend up to 100% of a property’s value, the ideal MIC loan is generally around 60% of a property’s value, and does not exceed 85% for added security. 

An ideal rental for me is one I like, I don't need to love it.

If you have $900k to invest, I would focus on at least 10 units, ideally closer to 20 units.

Ideally, I would like a traditional duplex for a long-term buy and hold position.This will be our first home purchase so I want to make a solid decision.Duplexes are going very fast in my area with multiple sight unseen offers just hours after posting.

I myself pretty much demand it of all the agents in all the states I deal in.

I currently am looking into a fourplex that is not in the most ideal neighborhood in Las Vegas so how do i go about determining whether this is a good purchase?

Berwyn and Cicero have a lot of 2-4 unit properties that would be ideal for house hacking.

I deal in distressed properties though.
