It also sets a positive tone and builds trust with new tenants, showing them that their living environment is taken seriously and maintained with care.

Newly built homes start in the $270s in suburban communities, like Los Lunas and Belen, or low $300s in class A neighborhoods in Rio Rancho and NW Albuquerque.

In the current environment, my under writing (that most would consider to conservative) depicts large negative cash flow after a maximum LTV refinance.- cash out refi loans have higher rate than if cash out was not occurring.  

Because I would rather earn less and be more hands off Baltimore city has A class areas and F class areas and everything in between.

From there likely a short spike due to the market being more reserved as the policy starts to take hold and lenders opting to raise rates a bit to be on the safe side while the policy settles itself in the new economic environment.

It lends an air of class and lasts forever.

1031 exchange sounds good in theory, but you need to do it in an area and at a time where there is inventory to choose from because once you identify the three properties, you have to close on one of them which is very difficult in a competitive environment.

You're barely doing new carpet, paint and replacing some doors on that budget.The issue (at least in DFW) is that B class doesn't lease at all.

It won't interfere with your day job and you can get into deals for $25,000 or $50,000 so you will be able to diversify by operator, market and asset class. 

So for 10k its 33 and if your self managing basically C class rentals thats a full time job maybe not full time but its anything but passive.
