I’m curious as to how many Proprty owners on the site have a long range Energy Mangment program in place for their buildings as are using them to increase their profits?

How much can we "pay ourselves" from the profit to avoid additional taxes?

@Mark PedrozaLets say im working with a relative (as a minor) and all i do is find leads; the relative signs the contracts and splits the profit.

My properties are owned by a US corporation which is owned by my Canadian corporation, so I do not derive income directly from the US but only through profits that are repatriated to Canada which are then paid out to me by my Canadian company, not my US company. 

Hard money is expensive money and cuts into profits.

I'm not asking for profitability, I know how to run the numbers for that....As I said I'm asking about the price of the structure compared to other four unit buildings in the area there, and since it is a four unit you don't value it by commercial standards....

Sure enough, it was a good deal, we bought it, rehabbed it, rented it out for a year then sold it for a nice profit after the tenant moved out. 

I have been researching on and off over the past 6-8 months, but can't really answer my first basic question, what is the most profitable / right market to look at and start researching in depth for investing in cash flowing and high appreciation properties.

He/she also gets 10% of the monthly profit.

My fiancé gets paid all cash and I am a landlord for my current home, profiting about $2k a month.
