I was more curious on more land programs that discuss things like this for the actual land. 

Take back your control of the property; the tenant doesn't get to dictate terms.

.- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

For practitioners in the real estate industry, the biggest challenge is not just the difficult work, high risks, or immense pressure, but the necessity to learn to let go of complete control over outcomes.

Either would be a great option; I'd probably choose Roseville because it's more established, but the City of Elk Grove deserves a lot of credit for its impactful growth programs, so it wouldn't be a bad option. 

The only company that Neal has had full control over is called Grocapitus.

And with brokerages now offering new agent programs where they will pay 100% of the expense to get licensed, there is literally no reason not to. 

If anyone else has a favorite strategy or tool they use to keep tax prep under control, I’d love to hear it!

He believes that area where he will be buying the new homes is going to appreciate and attract more MTRenters, but now, the big difference is that he would now have 3 properties that can go up (or potentially down) in value, go up (or down) in rent, and three times as many vacancies to fill.My back of the napkin assessment is that for only a drop in $200 a month in cash flow, he would control a lot more assets with growth potential and as rents rise over the coming years, the combined rents will increase to a total more than the single rent.HOWEVER.

The secret is tenant selection, and finding good tenants in the program.
