In either case, you can't work on the property as it must be a passive investment (e.g. you must hire someone to fix the toilet and can't pay the expense with non-retirement funds).7.

I just hired my first property manager but in my market.

Im less concerned with actual areas and just more interested in trying to figure out the best size of the property as I always hire property managers.

Hire a great agent who has the time to hold your hand.

Do you know anyone who specializes in this that I could hire?

I have been doing this in INDY  and Charleston and you can do it in virtually any city in the US.. thats were the real quick flip money is made.. now on these we are building new construction so on top of the equity we made on the lots we will make about 50k per new build .. so 250k profit or so on a 50k investment in less than 9 months or i could go buy a rental and make 300 a month if I am lucky  LOL. because thats were the real money is made. 

With the SFRs you have very little in the way of tax avoidance, the same cash flow derived from a large multifamily would produce virtually no taxable income through cost segregation and other means.

They are not your friends, they are people you have hired.

The greatest effect of this law will be that now, anyone that buys a tax property will have to hire an attorney.

Or do you stick with hiring outside to avoid any drama in case the job is done poorly?
