Insurance is now a big factor in the expenses of investment properties, even here in Reno, NV there are areas that have had large increases for single and multifamily properties.

These are lovely single-family homes.

Quote from @Sarah Johnson: "Beware of Peter Harris Program: My $10K Scam Experience"Hi everyone,My name is Sarah, and I’m a single mother of two.

I do single family "off market" that I take over with owner financing, subject to, wraps and lease options.

The real power of single family residential comes with stable, consistent markets that chug along, have good rental base/demand and growth potential. 

I am considering purchasing empty lots priced roughly $10-15K below market value.My plan is to offer owner financing for the land.These lots have water, drainage, and electric connections available, and mobile homes are permitted.The area is experiencing significant development, with the lots surrounded by new single-family homes.I would really appreciate any advice, feedback, or suggestions.Thank you

I currently work with investors looking to build their portfolio with single-family, long-term rentals while managing for them on the back end, making is hands-free for the investor to still work their W-2 job and live their everyday lives and spend it with family, hobbies, etc. 

The contract was a simple 3 page one and I wrote this in.Also, it is a single family being rented as a rooming house (which is technically not legal here).

There's other items such as this where it may be helpful to talk to a CPA/EA for a little tax planning, especially since you'll likely get caught up in the passive activity loss limitations if taking bonus on a single rental property as I often see.It's also useful to mention that even if you do the cost seg study (I'm assuming you're doing one to be talking about this), you'll still benefit from accelerated depreciation in the form of shorter useful lives on the assets where you received bonus from.

My wife and I own a single-family home in a top school district.
