Delaware - 8%Assuming there's additional nuance here with states like California and Alaska handling taxation at local levels, but what are you all hearing in your neck of the woods? 

Consider a DST: A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a tax-efficient, estate-planning friendly option for accredited investors.

My wife and I are moving, and we're debating whether to rent our ~2400 sq ft 4 BR single-family home in Newark, DE instead of selling. 

Quote from @Paul De Luca: @Nilusha JayasingheConnect with @Samuel Pavlovcik Thank you for the rec, yes I called his office :) 

With that, having properties de-leaded is something that any investor should very much consider as all of these programs will require it.Like Dan mentioned, a lot of properties do have separate utilities.

@David De La TorreBe sure to have builders risk insurance while you are rehabbing.

Not everyone starting off gets hit with this, and if you can buy a portfolio it can "de-risk" the issue to some extent, but if you have one property and experience an 8-9 month fight to collect rent prior to eviction with a large repair bill after that it can be very painful.ALWAYS use a licensed PM in Detroit. 

However crime is actually much less there than say Wilmington De and Reading has 30 k more people.

A 1031 exchange, an installment sale, and a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) are just a few.
