@Scott BarberI used this equationto back into my maximum allowable offer (MAO)ARV - Rehab Costs -Holding Costs - Purchase & Sale Costs - Desired Profit as a percentage ofARV = MAO

For most straightforward buy-and-holds, assuming they are around 150k each and a 720 FICO, I would anticipate mid-7s right now pretty consistently. 

Once back in Maine, the goal is to begin purchasing small multi-family residences in order to hold and draw monthly cash flow. 

What’s everyone’s experience with two story single family homes vs one story home in terms of how easy or difficult it is to find a tenant or reselling after holding the property for years?

In the real world, every operator looks at overall returns across their hold period.  

@Basit Siddiqi is correct, I would just like to add that these forms are: Form 8938: statement of specified foreign financial assets ( bank accounts) Form 5471: for reporting interest in foreign corporations ( depending on how your holding your airbnb this maybe important) I would highly suggest having an accountant do it for you! 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Austin.

You'd probably do better with regular long term rentals.

The first Acre is a Cleared Lot & we plan to build on it.The second Acre has a small 661sq ft House on it, and an existing foundation for a 1392 sqft house which a builder started but stopped construction on due to not being paid as the HML would not issue a draw.Entry - We currently own 3 properties we are almost done remodeling and we plan to hold.

Also hold back a good % maybe 20%-25% for the final payment.
