I am working w/ an electrician to see if splitting boxes is realistic but also exploring the RUBS method.

This definitely gives me a different route to explore.

Greetings BP Family,    I remember when the Corona Pandemic first began, there was so much talk about all the opportunities to come, the lowering of housing prices, the sea of foreclosures to come ect....Quite Contrarily, Ive noticed that it has only made things worst and more competitive for buyers, once again giving the power to the seller.Some observations:Prices have gone up- I saw a house that was listed two months ago in probably a F class neighborhood relisted for 25,000 more this weekThere was already low inventory, so now that there are even less homes for purchase...folks may have to fight over the few availableAuctions are suspended so this is one less route to explore.

So, where are the safe deals to explore beyond contacting landlords directly?

However, I would like to explore saving money.

Please spend some time exploring what is available online (everything is) and where to get it. 

This then makes me explore options in other states like Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, Alaska etc. where the prices are much lower and more likely to cash flow positive and the owner tenant laws are better for owners.

Here's a start to explore the plethora of funding options.

While I think analyzing the data is good, I would definitely recommend either walking,biking, or driving for dollars to explore the neighborhood.

I'll have to also look into qualified business income.The only reason I haven't chosen to leverage out the responsibilities to a property management company is because the REI's are either new builds or in better areas with higher quality tenants and issues have been minimal.However if there is a way to maximize returns it's worth exploring more.
