My job will be on the southside of Indianapolis, so for location wise that would be better, however obviously the north side seems to have more potential.

Ask your brother what his BAH is for his rank and location.  

If you did a cost segregation study on the property in the past, you may have to recapture the depreciation taken in the past.capital gain tax rates are 0, 15 or 20%There is also a potential 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax.Also, don't forget state income taxes depending on what state the property is located or your state of residency.Best of luck!

@Thomas FarrellRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If you're going to do a lot of D4D, then you might want to have that, too.When I do D4D, I use PropStream to locate a number of properties in a small geographic area.
