Real estate investing does come with some sweet tax perks.

I dug through tax records, property records, death records, talked to the sweet ladies working the property and tax desks, google street-view driving and actual driving. 

What a sweet deal considering your initial goal was just to live affordably.

I think 20% there is the sweet spot.  

I believe in my area homes that are selling between 150 to 200 thousand mark is the sweet spot. - However, it had better be a show place to sell for that, because the city is funding developers to build new houses in that price range.  

Her sweet spot is digital marketing, nurture campaigns, lead generation, and marketing tactic execution.

Taxes, insurance, utilities, water, sweet, trash, electric, gas, VACANCY, unpaid rents, Repairs and maintenance, CAPITAL Expenditures, property management, debt service (if any), interest on you LOC if you used it.

@Jason Ling - This is definitely a sweet spot "I would then turn my efforts on trying to predict when a homeowner is willing to sell their property in an effort to try to seek out off-market deals before anyone else is aware of them."

God bless America, my home sweet home.

(simply because i would have a system of having someone else to bring me deals and not worry about the marketing factor... which is precisely what other major real estate workshops offer)It seems that placing the system in place... where I simply network with other investors... and team up with syndicator who spends time and money on marketing... may very well seem like a sweet deal.... for me...
