Also include upkeep. 7.

Like Agents these guys and gals are worth their weight in gold.

Never thought about upkeep during the tenant term but something I'll have to think about.

Upkeep and HOA are challenging for these buildings.

I talked to ABA, and was told I needed a minimum of 4 Land Trusts, 5 LLCs and a C Corp; as a newbie, that sounds like a lot of work and upkeep.

Seek out real estate with a positive cash flow after upkeep, insurance, taxes, and mortgage payments.

My biggest concern though with the Townhomes was about if they have challenges with renting out or if comps are done for similar br/ba/sqft or if the actual townhome “neighborhood” has more weight than it may for SFH when doing analysis.

I'm looking for enough cash flow to cover any incidental costs of upkeeping the property so I don't have to eat the cost of any capital expedlnditures, vacancy, maintenance etc.

Metal roofs are very light compared to shingles so if there's only one layer, weight isn't an issue.

While getting a template (likely from another state) may make you feel good, when the time comes for you to enforce the agreement and it does not hold weight will not be worth the savings.
