The market just has so little volume that it's hard to tell what's realistic or not in the near-term. 

So making them condos would be a realistic possibility if I wanted to go that route, I think.

Otherwise taking detailed videos and pictures for the contractor to get a good idea of budget should be sufficient to get a realistic budget. 

I do think with a little patience another 100K multi family with $400 of cash flow is realistic.

Don’t waste time with someone with unrealistic expectations; you won’t make the deal and just set up the client to get realistic for the intermediary that replace you. 5.

This will provide clarity regarding what matters and what does not, as well as what's realistically available to you. 

I’m considering short-term rentals in the Pocono area of Pennsylvania as a tax-saving strategy, but I’m not sure where to start or how realistic this idea might be.There’s still so much I don’t know about investing, and I’d love some guidance.

@Aubrey AdamsTo start investing in real estate, set a realistic budget, choose a good market, and consider house hacks.

In theory, your ideas are pretty sound, but what you are proposing is not realistic.

Is it realistic to pass material participation test if the property located far from primary residence, like vacation rental?
