That's a lot of homework left to the individual investors. :)Hope that helpsJames

., how does each individual property contribute to your goal of retiring early?

There's a wealth of knowledge to be gained before making significant moves in real estate.Consider joining a local real estate investors association to start networking with like-minded individuals.

Basically, if I remember correctly, they would put it in a land trust, than have the trust agreement tfr 90% ownership interest to the buyer, while allowing the seller to keep 10%, but the agreement had that 10% revert back to the buyer upon a future sale, or something similar to that. 

I like the possibilities of creating through real estate through so many methods and allowance for financial freedom.

The shed - they did not get any permissions from me nor from the municipality - only allowed one shed of a certain size, and now there are 2 so it would be a bylaw infraction. 

There's so much fluctuation in flood insurance policy right now that rates could drastically rise; I think right now they are allowed to raise it 15% per year even in owner-occupied. 

The house is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom with 1200 sqft of space, fully furnished, and it allows dogs.

Also, DSCR looks at the individual property and the debt service coverage ratio.. 

I am thinking of buying an income property before end of year, in part to take advantage of the generous Jobs Act depreciation allowance which I understand will expire 12/31/22.
