Some are 100% commission with monthly fees, agent transaction fees, and a website and full access to CRM.

The other structure that came long in 2004 in response to wall street wanting a product to access 1031 money was blessed as the Delaware Statutory trust.  

On multifamily I look for $250 per door, but that depends on other factors of the deal in which I can improve on my NOI.  

In short, an allotment that gets subtracted from the paycheck before the service member has access to it.  

Look for infrastructure and transportation investments, arts/culture and internet access

Also, if you're married the capital gains exclusion is $500,000You can also add to it the cost of any work/rehab you performed on the home that improved or extended the life of the house (known as the adjusted cost basis). 

However, independent of the painful schooling I've had being a long distance landlord (I refuse to hand it over to a prop man co), I've managed to turn the property around, literally doubled the rent from when i bought it, significantly improved the tenant base and have updated, renovated, and flushed out most of the poor workmanship the property has suffered over the years.

I'm not an expert but if you qualify for a Heloc and you can get a Heloc, what you do with that money once it's accessible is up to you. 

I have a list of the improvements and conditions of the property as well.  

The "need some work" ones don't bother me as I am handy and don't mind building a network to repair/improve the property.
