We also have a team of VAs assisting the leadership team and tracking KPIs so we know if any location is faltering and needs attention. 

Just wondering if anyone has an recommendations on reliable resources thanks in advance 29 rentals if they are at full occupancy, depending where they are located, should be great cash flow.

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

Not fully rented, but in a highly desirable location? 

I didn’t see your location in your profile or your post, but assume at least 17% state/federal taxes leaves you with $10k/yr.
