I am retired and collecting a pension and access to 401k funds (1099-R income)...so I am wondering how all of the information I am hearing about tax benefits as it pertains to W2 incoming applies to my 1099-R income. 

I do not know if your area has any rules against this for SFR but what we have done in the past from a marketing POV is to only bill 75% of the cost so that the tenant feels that they are getting a better deal than individual meters.

Good deals are very difficult to find though, especially in today's market. 

I've already begun emailing it out to people in my circles that were interested, and I'd love to find 1,000 people or more this year that could really benefit from it.

Hello,I'm Johnathan Shub, a beginner investor currently exploring the real estate market in Oklahoma City.

That way they are more invested to continue to make payments. 100% seller financing can be risky if the market changes and your upside down on it, and the owners stop paying. 

@Francisco Jasso Any updates worth discussing for either of you regarding challenges/successes in the Portland/Vacncouver market since your posts last year?

So many deals to do in our market.

In an on the market podcast I listened to recently they talked about underrated cities and mentioned population growth as one of the metrics used gage whether it was a good investment. 

Good design, clean, comparable with market rates, and professional photos.
