As I don’t want to be double taxed, I don’t serve dividends.I intend to invest the cash issued from the rents in stocks (REIT, other safe high dividend stocks, bonds…) before the acquisition of my next property.

@Robert StearnsPretty sure if you’re under $2500 (not sure if it’s per item or per invoice but I THINK it’s per item) you can write it all off as an expense under the safe harbor rule...

@Justin Conatser I would ask for enough to ensure you are able to safely finish the project ($90k?)

In the future I will forgo a little profit to buy in a clean, safe neighborhood where vacancies are easier to fill.

PeriodHowever there are currently lots of indicators of a recession looming which is different then a crash.It is and has been a sellers market for real estate....meaning deals are harder to find.Multis it becomes a little more complex, rents typically don't decrease in recession, depending on your asset class.So they can be a nice safe haven, they will also protect you against inflation.However I would first consider looking at your overall finances.   

But if you have to go in solo, and there aren't already smarter people gentrifying that area, then I would play it safe.

I simply tell them we transact only through the VRBO portal as it is safe for all parties.

This one has a full unfinished basement in an up-and-coming safe neighborhood.

I figure 7.5%.You have to account for CapEx, even after a rehab. 7.5% is a safe bet over time.Insurance looks high.

What will be important to them is your track record of success, how they will make money investing with you, and most importantly why investing with you is safe and won't lose them money.
