The combination of these tools will give you a good idea on what you can expect.

I am a buy-and-hold investor who is learning more about investing in notes.  

Here are the projections for 2024 to give an idea of expected returns:2024 IncomeLong-term Income$8,400Gross STR Income$45,500 (based on AirDNA projections)Additional STR Income$5,915 (mostly cleaning fees)Total Projected Income$59,8152024 ExpensesSTR Expenses$16,453 (32% ratio)Mortgage$34,476Insurance$707CapEx$3,600Taxes$2,729Total Expenses$57,965Projected Cash Flow$1,850CoC Return2.79%2024 Additional ReturnsPrincipal Paydown$2,930Equity Appreciation$16,200Mortgage Interest Deduction$7,571Total$26,701Total Projected Returns$28,551Projected Return on Investment43.1%Projected Return on Equity21.4%The CoC numbers are not impressive, and the property only cash flows as an STR, which carries some risk.

Last thing I'd want to do is rush into a property, miss red flags, and end up getting in a bad situation.Is a rehab in a C class neighborhood (which is what it would likely be) a bad idea for my first property?

I do like the idea of BRRR, but how did you go about finding a team to help you find those kinds of deals? 

I also say that because as the property appreciates you can always refinance the loan to gain more cash flow or cash out etc..Rarely have I seen investors hold their loan for the full term.

Was looking for some better ideas for tax planning, and saw this one, but then wondering now how much money I need bring to table.I also have another house I could sell, and maybe 1031 exchange with like 300k equity in it, so not sure if that would help.

That’s sounds like a good idea.
