Try to dispassionately evaluate every opportunity with a goal of maximizing after-tax returns net of risk in line with your own goals and tolerances.  

Hi @Jerry Nogueras that depends on your goals and how open minded you are to different strategies. 

DBIt depends on your goals, but generally, a long-term rental should ideally provide a solid return on investment beyond just breaking even.

@Nate Pharmer-Eden great goals!

Both strategies have pros and cons, but it depends on your equity, cash flow goals, and risk tolerance.

Will this be a more lucrative long term move than just buying an existing duplex or is this needlessly complicatedThanks It's needlessly complicated.

Quote from @Patricia Andriolo-Bull: My son is in the Army currently at JBLM but is moving to GA in July.

I'm thinking of moving it to MTR, but am unsure how to know if that will work in that area.

This is causing a huge influx of people moving here for jobs.

I felt that the various service providers gave me preferred service having been introduced through RTR, and I had great experiences with everyone they recommended.Most importantly, I felt that I could trust my Matthew Seyoum, my Investment Strategist, to represent my best interests without any conflict of interest, and to provide sound advice after understanding my goals and needs.Time will tell how the investment itself plays out, but so far I’m happy with RTR’s service and look forward continuing the relationship.P.S.
