For example, if your purchase price was $300K and the FMV at gifting is $500K, the recipient's cost basis remains $300K, potentially leading to higher taxes upon sale.You and your spouse can gift up to $38K annually per recipient (under the annual exclusion) without reducing the lifetime gift exemption.

Does anyone have any leads? 

Hey Christine, I might be biased, but you could look into Cleveland, Oh.Here are a few things to consider against investing there:- Slower appreciation compared to some other markets- Harsh winters, which can lead to higher maintenance costs- Many discounted single and duplex might need repairs or updates, especially if the previous owners haven’t kept up with maintenance over the years- Some local regulations to be aware of (nothing crazy, but worth noting when trying to close deals).But there are also some solid reasons to invest in Cleveland:- Affordable properties in the $100K-$300K range- Strong long term rental market due to a high rent to price ratio- Landlord friendly laws overall- Potential for great cash flow- Opportunities for Section 8 tenants- stable market once you have the right team in placeEvery market has pros and cons so it comes down to your budget, risk tolerance, and finding a reliable crew you can trust.

If you’re leading it to a company be sure to have in your lease explicit information about who is responsible for what in terms of maintenance.

The wrong property management approach will lead to the dreaded three:1) high drama,2) high turnover,3) high property damage.Use Household-led Property Management (HPM) developed and perfected for co-living.5.

I personally think #2 limits your audience.

He can probably recommend a civil engineer that works on smaller projects like this (mine are all engineers working on larger developments not residential) and can likely take the lead on the permit process for you. 

In the Southeast, Coolidge and Florence, where the path to progress is leading from San Tan Valley, and even way out West in the Buckeye and Goodyear areas are opportunities for growth.
