Hey Megan, I'm glad you're interested in Section 8 investing—it can be a very rewarding niche, but it’s definitely got its share of challenges.

Adjust return based on holding time and risk reward.

That was not as rewarding experience as the first responder.

**Risk and Reward** - If the engineer or developer is assuming some risk (such as project financing, delays, or cost overruns), their higher percentage may be justified

Here are a few options: max out 401k contributions for you and your spouse, max out HSA contributions, make charitable donations, harvest tax losses, etc.I recommend finding a tax strategist who specializes in real estate taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Not true, investing out-of-state can be very rewarding especially if you invest in an affordable market like Memphis, TN with a trusted investor agent.

Being nice to lazy investors, just rewards bad behavior and doesn't push them to be more resourceful - and hence more successful.It is a free country though, so best of luck with your approach:)
