It seems like all the information, tips, strategies, etc. that I find on the subject are directed at folks for whom retirement is years (if not decades) away.

If you choose to rent directly to students I'd be cautious, you have a large base of competition in the bigger properties, they have the mgmt and scale to deal with the younger tenant crowd.

Does anyone have experience with quit deed property to LLC directly?

I can tell you most people that bought since 2018 are likely regreting now, because today price is lower than Jan/Feb/mar already...And RE is not like stock, that changes direction every day....

Since you are evaluating multiple out of state locations, this may be more challenging, but I bet you could find some folks here in the forums who can point you in the right direction.

here is my home for sale. i think its priced right by watching and see the other homes in our market. but first weekend on the market ive had 1 offer and 1 showing. my agent said we should have 4-5 showings our first weekend. he indicated the price may be to high. i really dont know. the only other housing available to buy in this price range is manufactured homes or early 1900s small homes. please tell me what direction to go. the offer was 20k less than my asking price. she is a first time buyer and only approved for that much. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6042-W-New-Hampshire-St_Spirit-Lake_ID_83869_M26588-85211?
