However, there aren't any comps of new construction in the area beyond land sales on brand new neighborhoods, and existing sales of older 4 / 2.5s are in the high 200s.

If you take this housing away from these people where do you intend to have them live; in the streets, underneath freeway overpasses?

Hello,I'm looking for advice on my offer strategy for a house on the market I want to purchase.

Incorporating a washer-dryer hookup in the main house could be advantageous.This addition not only increases the convenience for potential renters but also adds value to the property itself.

I have concepts that I hope to expand on, strategies that stick out to me when reading and podcast so far are buy and hold properties, the BRRRR method, and house hacking.

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts. 

You can't just walk into the tenant's house to do your laundry.

This means that your permanent residence is excluded (except if you are doing a house hack in which the part that is rented out is eligible for cost segregation).

Then you own the LLC and can transfer the property into it.If you transfer the property into that LLC the way it is then technically you just gave your friend ownership of the house proportional to his ownership of the LLC.I'm not an attorney, so take that with a grain of salt.
