For several reasons (property taxes, politics), I would prefer to begin real estate investing somewhere other than locally. 

How do you determine a reasonable target return?

LLC-A deducts the 10% management fee, while LLC-B reports it as active income, subject to self-employment tax but eligible for tax-efficient salary and distribution strategies.Ensure the setup has a clear business purpose, reasonable compensation, and documented management services to avoid IRS scrutiny.

These areas not only offer reasonable purchase prices for most investors but also feature turnkey homes—either newly built or fully renovated, ready for tenants, with systems that still have 10+ years of life remaining, and property management teams in place.

Haverhill is another interesting area with reasonable home prices and a lot of municipal developments in the works (also the commuter rail and easy access to major highways).

However, our goal is to help 100k investors obtain financial freedom - hence the reasons why we provide many videos, podcasts, programs, and services to help with this journey.Unfortunately, we cannot promise that every deal we help you get under contract will close.

My answer won't be, and for two reasons.

If the neighbor owns a dog or has other reason that even a temporary dismantling could be problematic, you'll want to let them know that the fence is being replaced so they can mitigate any damage to your property or crew while it is being replaced.Hope this helps...

Which is another reason I'm priced higher.Thanks Staci.  

One more reason why people should stop looking for the easy path to building wealth.Increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.
