Hey @Shaheen Ahmed, A lot of deals aren’t top performers right out of the gate, but the key is finding ways to maximize income to offset costs like taxes.Stay consistent with analyzing deals you’ll find an area that works for you.

Noteschool is a mentorship and training program for notes performing and non performing.

Based on the user research we've seen most use cash flow as a proxy for performance.

Based on these assumptions and the IRS notice's text that "The IRS also gives affected taxpayers until May 1, 2025, to perform other time-sensitive actions described in Treas.

You can also check online resources like BiggerPockets or Roofstock, which offer general CapEx guidelines based on property type and age.These methods should help you perform a solid preliminary analysis.

I am very happy with the performance of my portfolio - all my properties are between a 10-13% cap rate.

If you and your husband can perform the same line of work in another state like Florida, Texas, Nevada I would move out of CA as soon as possible. 

Note investing can be divided into performing vs non performing.  

If your realtor is listing it for free and not helping, that's not much help since leaving you to screen tenants and run through leads is like asking you to perform knee surgery, you don't know what you are doing.All rental listings should get bombarded on Zillow Rental Manager and HotPads, etc in the first week so if you have limited activity, your price is either too high or the photos are bad and the copy about the place is bad.Use something like RentSpree from screening.

Model the performance of the property.
