In addition, most of these are only good for a $500k raise or less (they are unproven).

You still need to do inspections etc. and you are just paying an additional fee.

If you can only be 50% you'll have to secure your additional 1/4 some other way (and there are lots of ways).The only problem I see with your plan is the condo conversion. 

and, i don't plan to put a penny additional toward them. 

@Christina Colon be aware that if you do start forming entities you may have additional tax filings.

The new tenant income will further strengthen my financial position.While selling the properties is not my preferred exit strategy, the quiet title process should be completed by July 2026, allowing for a potential sale if refinancing is not feasible.

Now 10 years later there are luxury apartment & condo buildings, new construction homes, completely renovated homes etc in place of the old run down low income housing.

Make sure property is “self supporting” meaning sufficient income to produce some cash flow after operating expenses and debt is paid.If one does that, they are set up for a profitable long term hold.If one invests in a prudent manner and is never in a position where they have to sell, they ultimately win.The top or bottom of a market is never known until 6 to 12 months after the fact.I’m a long term investor - my capital is patient.Here’s a question to ponder:If you could buy a property today for $1M, knowing it’s value would drop to $950,000 over the next year but would be worth $1.5M in 5 years, would you buy it today or hope to perfectly time the market and get at $950,000?

With multiple properties you limit the loss of rental income from a single tenant.

In addition a home bought for your use is seldom the best invest RE purchase.
