It's a free education.

This will be the best platform to educate yourself on investment strategies.

They offer networking opportunities, education, and local insights for landlords.4.

Best part is that unlike the old UPREIT that triggered a tax if the initial property is sold, today’s structure is immune.

and that was owner occ.. todays rates are pretty normal actually. what you can do if you want though is find a really good HML and let them place a loan for you making 10 to 12% while your wait for things to change to a situation that you feel you want to move forward be more net return than buying a rental thats for sure. of course no tax bene's but there really is not that much tax benefit on one rental.. so just some alternatives. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking.
