This has come into play as one local city was charging $150 for rental inspections while surrounding communities were charging $50.

Estimated home price based on comps is $250-260k and rentals go for $1,700-1,800.We both believe that small multifamily properties are the smartest way to start given our ages and desire to probably retire by the time I hit 70 - 10 years from now (if we want to).

.- If we play to hold, I'm not sure if the rental income will make this a worthy enough investment, but I could be wrong.What do you think of this situation here?

Knowing how much you can afford, knowing your market’s strengths and opportunities, increasing knowledge on financial matters are all important steps worth taking when planning ahead through assessments.In planning for retirement, through real estate investment, you can capitalize on it as a resource adding extra passive earnings, protecting the existing wealth, and expanding the investment base.

Learning to make decisions first and foremost based on what is going to help me meet my (clear, written) business goals.

I invest in central Wisconsin and the only reason I don't do more is I can't find deals (even here, the market is hot) I exited because it's already profitable more than 50% from my base investment.

I am a Real Estate Agent and investor based in Columbus and I personally grew up in Cleveland. 

For instance, in Winston-Salem, located in Forsyth County, the current average tax rate is 0.980%.Affordable Property: In contrast to other Metropolitan areas in North Carolina, Winston-Salem presents comparatively affordable property prices.

Hope this helps a bit, happy to dive a little deeper with you if you want and maybe have one of my PM's run some numbers for you based on actual bookings and data, not just airdna etc. 

I assume it is a pier and beam foundation based on the year built?
