I think about this often, its really just running the numbers - if you borrow 100k at an 8% interest rate, will the investment get you more than an 8% return?

You can also expect increasing HOA fees, and there may be some problems renting a property inside a difficult.You don't have any experience, prices are at an all-time high, and rates are also high. 

White collar professionals, higher education rates.

With a fideicomiso, the gross income is taxed through a withholding tax whereas, with the corporation, the rate, you can deduct expenses but the taxation rate is higher.

It's debt you'd still have to pay back, but at least you will not touch one of those two amazing interest rates. 

Being that rates are up it's another way to offer exatly what you mentioned; the chance to own for a couple hundred bucks more than renting.Thoughts?

Also the hit rate per property is really low.

But SFH are already seeing renewals at 2%-4% and release rates up at least 5% YoY...that number is even higher on some luxury ($3k+/m rent) homes as those are harder to find.The rest is entirely speculative.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

The drop and Swap is about all we use here due to the confiscatory tax rates based on sale price.
