Most everything in Cleveland seems like an awesome deal when you compare it to the pricing you've seen in NYC.

Plus, compared to other parts of Florida, the Panhandle is still relatively affordable, making it a great option for first-time investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio.Another huge perk is Florida’s no state income tax and landlord-friendly laws, which make it easier to manage and profit from rental properties.

I really like LLCs compared to corporations because of the free stepped up basis for passing property to my children.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Quote from @Tove Fox: What are the pros and cons of each when compared?

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.
