Here's a fundamental explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

I believe I understand your explanation for the 1065 and the adjusted cost basis so thank you for that. 

.# 4 usually requires more explanation as its newer to the market (DM me if interested in discussing these options further), but all 1-4 appear to be potential options for you based on the limited details. 

As said by others so many factors that determine cost per ft let alone volatility in materials and your geographical location.

Then the explanation of ALL the HARD work they have to do and they need at least 2 % .

I feel this one ... we just had insurance jumped $6k a year on a property without explanation (It has to be a mistake).

Given my geographic inability to personally manage the properties and long stretches of not having cell or internet service, I'm calculating 3rd party property management into all my deals.

A great place for CA investors because it's close to CA, no income tax, landlord friendly, tech job (Data centers), manufacturing job growth (Tesla), geographically constrained, and the 4th lowest property taxes (do not reassess on sale) in the nation. 

This includes providing clear explanations for the increase and being responsive to any questions or concerns raised by tenants.Avoid retaliation: Landlords should not raise rent in retaliation against tenants for exercising their legal rights, such as requesting repairs or reporting code violations.

It would take several hours of general explanation and then another couple of hours of custom analysis by an experienced accountant.I can only give you a few starting pointers, but each one really has a LOT more to it than a short sentence.1.
