I net about 3.5-5k a month(depending on airbnb) after all expenses including my primary residence and utilities there.I have built up a good amount of equity in the houses due to the renos I've done mostly myself and also from buying low during covid.

Good morning BP community,I'm a returning REI in East Tennessee who is now investing and buidling a family business full time after a career in the military.

For those of you who are starting out and want to learn more about real estate depreciation and cost segregation! Cost segregation can be a complicated topic, but I tried to make it simple and easy to understand!

Usually the numbers don't work to build in these neighborhoods, unless government tax credits, etc.Do you see the problem with your two statements:"The turnover costs could/will be high"and"How much more damage could they do?"

Besides lists from the tax assessor, how are you finding your deals?  

This results in a significantly lower payment after the reset. 

Then the year after buy another one.

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

@Emily Gowen so as you pointed out you would not have to do a 1031 exchange on your current home to avoid the capital gains tax and coupled with what Dave Foster pointed out I think, speaking from experience you would have a high likelihood of success. 

We can't make people clean up after themselves and keep things as we would but the day to day dealing with voucher tenants is not the worst.
