I'm just not too keen on unearned wealth, and heaven willing, I would probably Trust everything to a cause that provides opportunity to the truly unfortunate.

That would be put on the listing and selling agents may not be keen on the idea of bringing thier buyers, especially repeat investor buyers as thier client will obviously be on the seller's radar in the future for other deals.

@Basit SiddiqiTHANKS for the information...I have several investors that are not "so keen" or "understanding" of the C-Corp idea...They are looking to invest as individuals and I want to make sure the understand the pitfalls of that idea tax wise...

We've tinkered with the idea of REITs and other group-funded investing, but my wife and are I are more keen on other strategies right now (subject to change as we continually read and become more educated of course).

Our insurance provider also penalizes us for oil heat.When we are putting together an offer on a property with oil heat, we price in a conversion to either electric (heat pump) or natural gas.That said, we have ended up running a property with oil heat prior to conversion and, while the tenant was responsible for the heating costs, we coordinated the oil delivery - given we received a 5% discount as a result of our affiliation with a local apartment owners association, the Tenants were keen on the arrangement.

I'm not too keen on house hacking to 8 random people!

The few times I have gotten off the freeway for gas or a restaurant, I wasn't entirely impressed with what I saw, but again, I never ventured much further than freeway close.If you think you have a deal, you better get a good contractor to go through that house with a keen eye and a sharp pencil while you still have time left on your inspection period.

Make more money just lending the money. in the PDX market were I am competition is so keen that same thing 50k on a 600k deal is pretty normal.. on new construction we try to hit 15% of gross  so 400k is about 60k which we can just about hit.. but we will do 30 in a year.. so while not Great % it does add up and since we have bank financing at 90% of cost.. or so.. we are still almost 3X cash on CASH in 9 months.. 

My hope is that this helps people see what folks are keen on in early 2022. 

Others on the forum disagree with me, and I'm not as keen on Minneapolis with the direction the city council is going (making it a bit more difficult in my opinion to be a landlord in Minneapolis).
