Citizen you don't get 5 million  U.S. dollar tax exemption and it doesn't seem likely possible  to have an workaround for this (e.g. living trust)My dad, who is age 65, doesn't speak English ,invested about 7 million U.S dollar worth of property  in commercial and residential property(houses, stores, offices) , from his personal fund a few years ago, investment are doing fine  ,however,   recently  I discover that there  is no way for him to leave his asset to me after he passed away without an heavy tax because he is Chinese national, I asked with my dad's   accountant ,property manager, and Everwill , they have no clue how to solve this problem and Everwill told me the living trust will not able to help on estate tax if he is not a U.S. 

I would think 10% is too low since that doesn't take into account the 1-month rent you pay to find a new tenant.

Rents are secure in multi unit blue collar and for me following the last dip in 2008 I still raised rents annually.

You should be able to turn the  free cash and deferred tax into $60 - $80K net of all expenses annually without banking on the back end and still getting depreciation the rest of the way.  3.

The free service, for landlords with two or less properties, tracks expenses, profit/loss, etc. of your rental properties ($50 fee if greater than two) but it requires linking accounts in order to automatically track and categorize expenses for you.I’m always uneasy when a website requires linking bank accounts.

Note - Kansas City Missouri is getting very landlord unfriendlycurrently, you have to register as a landlord and its free but they also just passed a new ordinance that starts in January that requires you to register for a fee annually and be subject to tenant complaint and random interior inspections.It is my understanding both with run side by side, which seems stupid and redundant.They are also working on a new 5 year housing policyOne thing they are looking at there is that you will not be able to discriminate based on source of income. 

I've been presented with an opportunity to invest in a 7 acre parcel on a mountain in NC, and need some help evaluating it. 10% annual return on the $175k initial investment, and 50% of the net proceeds of each lot sale (12-14 lots). 

to my knowledge a Accredited investor is defined as someone who has annual income of $200,000, or $300,000 for joint income, for the last two years with the expectation of earning the same or higher income.

The fact that you have not raised your present tenants rent annually is a clear indication you are not yet ready to be a investor.
