If rents don't outpace inflation, you cannot achieve financial freedom.The income must last throughout your lifetime.

I don't find even this split worth my time, even as a listing, on my last rental listing I was stood up well over a dozen times last minute!

But I’d also buy the $200 5 year warranty.My last/only stackable I bought last year was LG, the combined towers to try to reduce noise, increase ease of use, and presents higher end look.

No 4 unit multifamily has sold in the last 2 years.

Towards the end of last year, one of my buddies contacted me and told me his accountant told him that he needed to buy some real estate to lower his tax bill.

Comps in the last 30 days sold between 90,000-100,000.Any advice on what you guys think would be the best thing to do?

Quote from @Benjamin Sanders: Hi all,My wife and I made a last-minute offer on a rental property in New Albany that is in a flood plain.

Last QI I used was not a great experience. 

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
