We learned a lot about project based Section8 buildings, but are now actively pursing more projects like this.

The only development left for this part of the project is to add a new 12-story sewer interceptor to the tunnel, with completion set for 2025, at which point the plans for a new mixed-use community can go forward at the Robinson Terminal long abandoned warehouse, where the infrastructure connecting the tunnel to the river has been taking place.There is no doubt that the Potomac River turning swimmable and fishable, along with the already spectacular views, that properties and activities along the waterfront will become much more attractive to locals and tourists.

What I can share is that the risk-reward will not be worth it as a 'newbie' due to your limited capital and inability to actively manage your properties. 

but if you have a view on active vs. passive income.my goal is to have income from multiple sources, ideally part time work that i enjoy is a component. 

I want to keep them separate to manage activities according to each regulatory agency.

It's great to hear from someone active in the Rochester market.

What ROI do you need to justify the liability and active nature of owning a rental property?

It's not illegal provided you're dislosing it to all parties and not trying to actively hid it.

But it’s clear you’re a smart investor who knows the long-term benefits real estate can bring.I keep reminding myself why I stick with real estate: you can make money every month in four different ways:Cash Flow – Passive income to live on.Appreciation – Long-term property value growth.Depreciation – Tax benefits that reduce your taxable income.Tenants Paying Down the Mortgage – Even if you’re paid off now, this is one of the biggest wealth-building tools for leveraged properties.It sounds like your main struggle is the stress of active management—and trust me, you’re not alone.

Some things you may want to consider is how active you are looking to be in your investing.
