Happy New Year,I'm reaching out to connect with professionals in the Pittsburgh area.  

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You are only adding complications and costs with the LLC with no upside  This is all assuming there’s been almost zero appreciation and you shouldn’t sell tax free while you have the chance. 

Let's assume your expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, etc.) comes to a clean $600 and the property rents for $1,000.

@Rafael Ramos All your goals contradict each other:(1) Cashflow: buy Class C & D properties2) Appreciation: buy Class A & B properties3) Low Crime: buy Class A & B properties4) Why would you want your investments to lose money to lower your taxes?

I have also been doing quite a bit of research on Loan's, tax consequences etc., and am working towards being a expert in this niche.  

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

Focus on cities with favorable price-to-rent ratios, population growth, and employment trends, such as Des Moines, Oklahoma City, and Charlotte, while considering factors like landlord-friendliness and property taxes.

The area has attracted a lot of new young professionals with their work from home marketing that gives $10,000 to qualified families to help them establish themselves in the area.

I then would have my tax cpa enter in or do it after discussing tax based items (depreciation- MACRS, reserves, year end accruals, reserves, etc.).
