Along the way, I have met many fellow tax preparers in office settings, continuing education classes, and other meetings. 

@Andrew Katz new construction in a Class C neighborhood?

Turnkey or close to turnkey would be nice, but willing to consider a fixer upper for the right opportunity. 

house hack in some sort of fashion.Either buy a duplex or large single family that you can rent out a room/side of the houseOr buy a fixer upper in the best neighborhood you can afford. 

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.

Think of it like a teacher who has passed their classes to be a teacher.

I would get more details on the numbers and go through it with an experienced investor. 23% expense ratio is laughable for any apartment building, let alone an old class c product.

At that class of property, the turn overs are costly. 

I would rather lose 100 bucks a month in a solid area, than risk making 200 bucks a month out of state, class C-D, or in an area I don't fully understand. best of luck

A/B class is our jam.
