I just got bit in the rear b/c Albany reassessed my property for what I paid for it (duh), which effectively doubled my property tax liability.I'm owner occupied, and with my first purchase I was primarily concerned with simply making sure the income covered operating expenses, and not terribly concerned w/ driving profit, but I was relying on the ~$200/mo I was making above cost to help subsidize fixing up the building, and now I'm about $50 south of the property costs.Paying $50 a month to live in my 4-unit isn't bad, but if this was a classic investment property, I'd be pretty ripped :)

These 1 bedroom units offer an over sized bathroom and double closets.

I am also interested in short-term rental property that can double as a vacation spot and eventual second residence in Duluth, MN. 

In other words you can't double up on contributions (that is, put $53,000 into the solo 401k and $53,000 into the SEP IRA). 

Wholesaling (contract assignment or double closing)3.

If it's all feasible, my guess is that you would make more money on Airbnb, but double check the numbers. 

I am getting a double whammy as most of my properties were purchased last year and I am now losing the existing homestead exemptions. 

There are plenty of opportunities to that your upfront investment of $50-75K, flip a property using hard money to leverage and come out with double [or a significant earn] that, use the $100K to split a downpayment on 4-5 units or one small family that would get you a much larger monthly yield. 

Charge double for the coin op loads.
