I have read and listened to numerous discussions about the tax advantages in the world of real estate investing, but I have two questions that I haven't gotten a great answer to.

You only need 1 person that is willing to spend time with you and possibly invite you out to a project they're currently working on so you can get a good idea of what they're spending. 

The largest, Blackrock’s invitation home owns about 1/2 of 1% ($80k).

I did some due diligence on this and found out it’s super sketch, with numerous downsides, like locking up any remaining equity because you can’t increase the debt on the property, undervaluation of the property to gain an advantage.

I appreciate the invite.

I was even invited to see their current apartment and I met the cat.

Properties that you buy for $18.5K and that you rent out for $1900/month will eventually bury you, one way or the other.SECOND, as I have said here on BP numerous times, when you are a low-income handyman landlord, you have to follow three very basic rules.

I've asked Apartments.com about certain features, like having the apartment numbers actually listed in numerical order instead of randomly and being able to email/text tenants thru Apartments.com.

I get it, there may be answers to all these questions written in the code or case law may shake the answers out as the city starts to sue people, the point is, you are inviting bureaucratic busy bodies into your lives with this type of policy which raises the cost of doing business and ultimately those costs are passed on to the law-abiding, quality renters. 

Especially if there are numerous buyers are interested.
