Lake County is landlord friendly and the property taxes are low there too!!

@henryClark  owns property there and is up to speed with most things Belize.I was just down there in Jan. looking at some government sponsored low income housing where there were capital needs.

However, my main expenses (furnishing the property, repair and renovation) happened in 2023.

The CG 's down the South Jersey Shore are expensive as heck and the finished product is mediocre at best. 

Sometimes they keep rents low.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

What's your minimum ROI after all expenses?

Your investing career will be determined by your ability to accurately predict variable expenses, vacancy, maintenance, and CapEx. 

When filling out the IRS SChedule E for a multi unit property, do i list each apartment separately or do i have to list it as a "property". 1 "property" has 4 units or apartments with different rental days and expenses, etc.

Some of our clients sell their portfolios in expensive markets like San Diego and reinvest (via 1031 exchange, or in your case it's not necessary) elsewhere.
