@Alejandro OrtizOut of state investing has its own risks and benefits but if you set up a good team (property manager, contractors, etc.) you mitigate the risks and reap the rewards.

If you want to challenge the appraisal you will need a comparable sale of a similar property in your neighborhood. 

What are got strategies to look into and other options I have that I just dont compare to my personal house.

Banks opening accounts for US taxpayers, including a business, have much stricter KYC BSA/AML rules and documentation they have to complete compared to prior to Patriot Act.  

How do I compare multi-family property from one city to the next? 

When we compare the condo rentals to that of our SFH rentals, condos are cost effective and a lot less maintenance. 

Look at comparable properties on AirBNB/VRBO and see how occupied they are/what their rates are.  

Hi Joe -- just going through some hypotheticals - I am seeing some "gurus" preach the sandwich lease options as gospel while others do subject to and then lease option the property -- under which circumstances might one strategy be better suited compared to the other? 

It's unlikely they will consider the overall cost when comparing to another property without, and, you're likely stuck being the tech support guy when it doesn't work.
