Perform this research by using the rent comp tool on BiggerPockets as well as FB marketplace, Zillow, Craigslist, etc Also for those 15% of units that are “at market”.

I truly think I only need 4 more houses to hit my goal and then shift from buying to paying them off.I am not sure if I am thinking about this the right way and I am sure there are things I am not thinking about but below are my thoughts:Pros - I can purchase the houses I need to hit my goal faster - With getting homes fasters the depreciation, tax benefits, amortization, appreciation, rent increases all start sooner - Home prices on average should be lower now then if I buy in 4-5 years - I can take better advantage of leverageCons - I have more risk until I pay the properties off - Less upfront cashflow - Longer timeframe to acquire the properties to reach my goalIf anyone has any opinions or advice I'd love to hear it.One thing to consider is the more of one’s own money you use, the more you can be lax and lazy with the deal and your standards.

I' on the road for work so plan to call and get an update eventually.  

One of the biggest challenges for everyone involved is being on the same page about the actual time required for maintenance.DIY landlords rarely properly track their time when it comes to property management in general - tracking their true time invested in maintenance is where they perform the worst.Investors that hire PMCs are rarely any better at understanding the true amount of time maintenance takes.

I wanted to be absolutely sure I had complete agency and that I knew how to perform my own analysis over various situations.

I self perform most of my construction at this point and find it very difficult to make ground up construction pencil in Philadelphia unless I am selling for $400/ft.

To maximize its appeal, highlight rental performance, market it on investor-focused platforms, and consider selling before the academic year to attract buyers ready to capitalize on rental income.Good luck!

I read in the thread he has do reno 5 of them as well, hmm I wish this poster all the best, Someday when I grow up I will be like youAll the best  it maybe a bit much but at least your prepped for it and if you do better on some of them then thats fine but expecting these type of assets to perform with section 8 tenants over the years as he has stated is just dreaming.  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsAccording to the site:To purchase real state/real property, perform rehabs where necessary, lease the properties, collect rents, distribute income as dividends to shareholders.Rad Diversified realizes revenues from rents and interest on certain investments, as well as capital gains from increases in the value of its real estate portfolio.They are a REIT so they have to distribute 90% of their taxable income per year (which of course could be zero due to depreciation).  

I only listen to 2 x car podcasts, 2 money podcasts and 6 real estate podcasts.
