You can still find positive cash flow and deals that do hit the 1% rule here!

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

This also includes any potential benefits for tax losses, no matter where they are sourced to.Given the property is in MO, it would also be subject to income tax reporting in that state, unless there are any exceptions to having a filing requirement there (I don't know MO rules off the top of my head).  

However, I’ve developed some rules for when I utilize a subject to or wrap transactions as both.  

I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t consider this opportunity because my current company has about 50 homes throughout New England with about 1100 employees and is well funded.

How you made it to 50 on spreadsheets is mind blowing to me.

And the split is whatever you decide on. 50/50 is what a lot of people usually do.
