A good bonus structure can turn an average manager into an all-star. 

Have you calculated how many properties or average monthly revenue it would take to reach that goal?

I know Virginia Beach is attractive but that average price for Alexandria strikes me as rather low.

Haysville is a lower-end suburb that has mediocre schools and slightly higher than average crime and narcotics rates in the city.

It's not fool-proof, but I think odds of earning 7.5% using a barbell strategy in the average year on your money is 97% likely with very very little effort. 

Yup half of these ideas are OLD NEWS  I never equate Texas and low tax's LOL also my concern with build to rent subdivisions is not the rent or the first 3 to 5 years but the exit in 7 to 10 years which is average hold time for investors.. 

My building is averaging about 20k per unit.

Best decision I've ever made. 4-6% average annual appreciation rate, stable job growth, population growth, drivable to the Bay Area, close to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, much more landlord friendly than CA, land constrained meaning limited supply, etc. 

The program was created to give low-income tenants an alternative to living in federal project housing.S8 sets their rental rates to the LOW-END of market averages, if not slightly below.

That’s the kind of move that separates average investors from the pros.
