Combine the federal tax credits, state tax credits, state incentives, potential utility incentives, and a high cost of power and you might just find that your investment pays back pretty quickly.

Many are placed in SFHomes one at a time but if we could combine vouchers we could afford to provide better housing at a lower cost.

Since the building of the Hollywood & Highland center real estate has only gone up and many new luxury condominium developments have started to appear stretching out eastward.Without looking up statistics, but from my personal observation, I would say that the crime in Hollywood is mainly committed by people from other places i.e Compton etc... and a combination of a thriving night life which unfortunately involves drug trading.

I have a few condos (each of which is worth much more than the SFHs combined) which have appreciated at 7% a year over the past 3 years, I saw little to no cashflow from these but expenses were HOA+taxes 100% of the time, never had to lift a finger doing anything.

Or is it that you need to purchase these properties outright either with the IRA or a combination of the IRA plus personal funds?

I consider myself an "opportunity" investor as I will go with what I perceive to have the highest return combined with the lowest risk and least aggravation.

They stated the divorced person in the unit needs to show proof to a judge that they are paying X amount of rent directly to a landlord (not combined with a roommate).

I keep 2nd guessing myself because I keep seeing "investment property" listings all over in the 1.10-1.8% range as if they all believe that's the norm for a good investment deal around my area.Ex: - Home is worth $128,000- Guy is asking $95,000, but is flexible/motivated- 2 unit at a combined rent of $1200 a month- assume for this example no repairs needed- My offer is between 54k-64k after my cut and closing costs- Sell it to investor/another landlord for $89,600- 2% rule = 1.22%Is that still a good deal?

If you want office support, hire an assistant.An assistant can be paid by the hour, and in most places I assume $10-12 per hour would get you someone decent.A good project manager will be more expensive, and I would recommend paying a Project manager on a combined salary/commission schedule.

Lord to Duke, King to Queen, or any combination thereof for transfers is acceptable.
