@Quincy Roundtree my biggest recommendation is to pick a neighborhood, hopefully one with a lot of 2-4 unit homes, figure out, view every property and get to know the area.

But, even with an arguable (someone correct me if I've got it wrong please), tax benefit of $21k, we still end up about $49,000 LESS the $21k tax benefit still amounts to a $28k loss.

I'm looking to go view the property this week.

Austin-Thank you for you point of view.

Not having the job plus the credit score is an issue.The rent board would view both as being original tenants, lease or not, so both would need to be on the lease.  

An initial visit to meet your team or TK provider, view the area, and make sure all is as-advertised is a good idea, but after that you shouldn't need to fly in unless you want to.You're in the right place to get numbers for different investment types in all kinds of markets, so I'd start with narrowing down the specific strategy you want to go with.

However, land contracts are not viewed as valuable as a mortgage or DOT.

When the headset wearer moves around - left, right, up, down - their view moves in the same way.
