Quote from @Simon Walker: Quote from @Andrew Syrios: Could you "split the difference" so to speak and go back to work for yourself but limit the number of clients you take on so you only need to work 20 or so hours a week?

@Joe Gellenbeck Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

If anyone has the names of such non-profits and/or anyone with experience doing this as a landlord, I would like to speak with you.Michael King

Here are key adjustments:Kitchen ($50k): Likely $60k-$70k for custom cabinetry, quartz, and premium appliances.Bathrooms ($40k): Expect closer to $50k-$60k for four bathrooms with high-end finishes.Flooring ($20k): Likely $25k-$30k for engineered hardwood, refinishing, and tile.Exterior ($12k): More realistically $15k-$18k with landscaping and a quality front door.Misc.

I'm a little biased but I think having an accountant that specializes in real estate and speak your language can always be helpful.

I would make sure you speak with a land use attorney on this

No state income tax.3. property tax's some of the lowest in the country.4. quality of construction most homes are built with stucco and tile roofs and desert landscape compared to much of the mid west rust belt were its very common to be looking at houses that are 50 to 100 plus years old. and yards grow fast  snow sleet ice all take more wear and tear on your units.we do a lot in most of the mid west rust belt states. the prime motivation is price point and rent to price ratio for those aspects they are the best.

Apparently there are significant differences in tenant "quality" from one street to the next.

@Travis Boyd The quality of the neighborhood will affect the cap rate to be used.

Hi Ricky,Being in operation for 10 years with mid seven figures of assets and NNN leases,it would be wise to speak with your tax advisor regarding if the tax set up should be an LLC, an S-Corp  or a C-Corp.It would also be wise to speak with an asset protection attorney to find out if this is something that might be beneficial to you in that area.
