In finding a new place to reside, I would again require funds for a downpayment on the purchase of a new home or reside in a rental myself until I save up enough funds for another purchase.  3. 

Only when the owners has to pay the utilities because the units are not separately metered.

Wonderful, thanks for the feedback!

So outsourcing some degree of property mgmt would be a must... but the deal won't work paying a local property manager a large % of my revenue...Instead, I would set up my "boots on the ground" (cleaners, handyman), and would need an offshore virtual assistant to manage guests and coordination of my local team. 

The highest quote I got for my duplex was $2600 annually and the lowest was $1300.

I also lead with the MTR strategy!

We've heard this question a decent amount recently, and I'm assuming that it's Nationwide due to the stats below: 2024 is the most apartment units completed in a single year since 1987.We're definitely no longer in the days of throwing up 3 blurry photos, pushing rents, and having 5-10 applications within a 3 day period (COVID era). 

For new prospective investors who have more money than time, I think this might be a better first investment than trying to be an out-of-state landlord.You do all of your vetting upfront—of the operator, the asset, the loan, and the area.

Excited to share that my wife, Stephanie, and I are stepping into the real estate world!

I have been asked to testify about how a change in zoning devalues the property.I am seeking cold, hard facts to back up my testimony.
