I think there's still a lot of room in the country to do this successfully and where the locals can also benefit.

I cash out refinanced with a local Hoboken loan officer I know and they were really great.

But you’ll want to do a little digging and maybe talk to a local lender who’s dealt with ground leases before, from what I’ve heard.On the tax front, if you have the benefits and burdens of ownership for the structures, depreciation might still be on the table.

It does give some great data but would need to verify with a local agent/contractor/property management company etc 

@Sanjeev Advani I’m not saying they’re all like this but since Circle K bought 3 local convenience stores they have never been able to staff them properly or maintain employees.

Fortunately, they should and usually do have local contractors in the area that they turn to for maintenance. 

Also remember to check your local laws.  

Local market economic conditions. 

Any advice for older listings that dont do well in displaying in the top of local property searches. 

If you can house hack a duplex / triplex / quad locally, I highly suggest it.
