Anything beyond that is going to take some blocking and tackling (reaching out directly to local companies like solar farms, construction, medical staffing agencies, etc.).

Sometimes, I see investors lean into property managers who know the landscape and can “drive for dollars” around the block.

A sub S election will probably block the free stepped up basis benefit though.

If your mental health is so fractured that you can't go to an Open House on a four-family down the block from you, that is something to focus on first.

You will hear about west side vs east side, while what is told is true, what is not mentioned is lower class areas are block by block. 

This has pluses and minuses.If your property is bulletproof such as no framing - cinder block construction, cement floors, gloss white paint slapped on the walls and a cheap window mount AC, then you are in a prime position to make money with S8. 

Also Gary Swank brought up a great point about how the area can change drastically block by block, even on the same street.

Lots and lots of research.Price points also help, block quality, etc.

However, he does have tasks like responding to questions time blocked in his week and I’ve yet to have a question left unanswered. 

Basically, it was a 1980s block shell with a 2024 home inside, when we were finished.
