A great team in an average market is significantly more valuable than an average team in a great market.

I would exhaust all other options first

TBH, I would rather own the stairs or parking as in % to a CA beach location than an entire SFH in many other states. 

A good investment with a solid PM is always going to be better than an amazing property managed by someone who drops the ball. 

One in particular, as an example, I have contacted is LOAN RANGER CAPITAL, out of Austin.In terms of a personal loan, there are also a number of banks that will allow for you to take a large (50k+) personal loan for rehab purposes and the rates will be upwards of 3-5 (maybe more) points lower than an HML .

I don't see how the questions establish a tax rate, other than an annual percentage on the price paid.

Greetings All,I've been crunching these numbers and running different scenarios to exhaustion.

Rehabbing is very difficult and risky to do remotely and mistakes are easily made, Also, turn key operators generally are acquiring properties further upstream at better prices than an individual can on the MLS.

It's less than an hour to DC, 2 hours to Philly, 3 Hours to NYC, gorgeous piers and water views, one of the best hospitals in the entire country, low cost of RE (you can get a completely remodeled row home in Fed Hill with quartz, hardwood floors and a roof top deck with city and water views for $250k-$350k.

and exhausting lol
