Actually after depreciation at the end of tax time in the end of the second year I will have made out big time. 2 properties will not get increases and the last 2 properties will get rent increases because they are very far under market rates.

Last month, the electricity bill for my 1200 sq ft townhouse (mid-term rental) built in 2002 hit almost $400!

I just did something similar last week but it took 4 business days . 

Lastly - this is a rural and underserved area.

If you haven't seen it already in your area, midwestern investment groups (The big guys) are just starting to catch on in the last 2 years as more 100-250+ unit buildings are going up in these towns.

Left my previous full time roll as a senior logistics leader last fall to venture fulltime into real estate.

Here's a BP article from last year that explains it pretty well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-comps

Lastly, the sooner the better.

I purchased a quad in Largo last year and @Dan Maciejewski with KW Belleair Gulfside was my realtor and was awesome! 

He kept avoiding our requests and said we should claim it in our 2023 taxes instead… The last straw for us was when he tried to charge us another $7.5k to file our taxes which obviously ended our relationship instantly.
