In the meantime feel free to check out a post I did a while back about Cost Segregation - The Basics (biggerpockets.com)

So many people come in and are looking for a spreadsheet to estimate for them and they don't understand the basics of what numbers they are inputting.

When picking a market, I would look for things like population and job growth, rental demand, and economic diversity—basically, is the area attracting people and businesses?

if they think every property on Zillow is a 'deal' then something is wrong.you got great advice and a ton of time invested in responses from @Bill B.as he pointed out - there's basically no cash flow in long term rentals now. anywhere. not even in those supposed ATM mid-west markets. 

OK so basically you were a bird dog and then a contractor for them.

And all the deals I do the exit on a fully rehabbed home that I fund and pay for the rehab etc for my clients. is basically 250 and under .. there is not an issue with affordability in much of the US the issue is buyers preferences.

However, if the aim is simply to start basic operations or register an initial business, a virtual office can be a practical and efficient solution for the early stages.I hope this clarification helps.MontseOke yes so we are basically talking about the same thing. 

Air Force basic training happens here, so every week there is a big batch of families coming to see their kids graduate. 

We decided to outsource major tasks such as septic installation, plumbing, heating, and carpentry, while handling smaller projects ourselves—a decision that proved beneficial.

Basically what we have is a pretty “average” real estate opportunity investment.
