Super smart move.

Smart peeps are already starting to plot their returns, to secure a good apartment at relatively good rents, including those who have dreamed of living in SF but couldn’t previously afford to, those that were compelled to the East bay, etc., are paying attention. 1-2 years it’ll be like, S.F. landlord- we’re back bitches!

Therefore, taking action on planning a high season strategy not only will improve overall guests experience but will maximize the return if it’s done the smart way.

You've already got a ton of smart Chicago investors on this thread so let us know a few more things like:How much capital you'll have from your 1031 exchange?

I would definitely recommend using this strategy to get started as long as you are smart about the property you purchase.

So smart @Adam Cole!

It could be the smart place to invest in SFR if that's your goal. 

He’s a smart guy and has developed a very interesting business model.He works with property owners by ground leasing a portion of their property, installs a modular ADU there at no cost to the property owner, and then rents it out.

Match the condition of that house to all other houses being rented out, and then do "smart" upgrades.What that means is simply this.

If I were really smart and had family close by, I would make my mom or uncle "the landlord" so no one knows I'm the boss.
