Could you provide more details on how to get started with this approach?

Sounds like a good approach @Jeremy Jareckyj!

One common approach is to form a legal entity, such as an LLC, where both of you are equal partners.

Be professional, but also authentic and approachable.

Here’s how you could approach this:Set Clear Criteria: Use objective criteria (e.g., income, credit score, rental history) to evaluate applications in the order they are received.Notify Applicants: Let each applicant know you will process applications sequentially and explain your timeline for review.Act Promptly: If the first applicant meets your criteria, move forward with their application and provide them with a clear deadline to sign the lease and pay the deposit.Move to the Next: Only if the first applicant does not meet the criteria or declines the lease should you proceed to the next application.By focusing on one application at a time, you simplify the process, maintain transparency, and mitigate any potential fair housing concerns.Lastly, since housing laws can vary by location, double-check Arizona’s landlord-tenant regulations to ensure compliance with any local rules about how applications are handled.Best of luck with your rental process!

This approach can create a sustainable retirement income while preserving your retirement accounts for long-term growth.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

However, i've never really seen the logic in taking those paths when you can just take the safe and slow approach. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Damien,Build-to-Rent (BTR) is a great long-term wealth-building strategy, especially if you have a stable W2 and want to take a more methodical approach to investing.

2025 is approaching fast, and I know many of us have already started our business planning for the year ahead.
