I own and manage 14 single family homes, all occupied nearly 95% of the time (stable rental market in my area), and currently analyzing a deal and figured why not ask for more input from all of you!

Currently trying to isolate a market to settle into and focus on while figuring out why nothing seems like a good deal even though I keep hearing there are deals in every market (i.e., trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong while analyzing properties). 

My 4 year equity in the home minus mortgage is at $1m, so it's a good deal IMO.

I have expanded one park but purchased 9 overall and I will tell you that you can get a much much better deal buying existing and scaling it.New parks are extremely time-demanding and take a lot of capital.

Tax benefits can help make a better business deal, but a bad business deal is hardly ever going to break even just because of tax benefits.The other big consideration you should have, in order to actually benefit from real estate fueled losses or credits, it will require a substantial investment of time - either to get over the material participation thresholds for short term rentals, or to get over the real estate professional thresholds for mid term /  traditional rentals. 

I'm new to this platform and i'm looking to learn from anyone who is familiar with the triangle area and investment deals in general.

.- Stay Persistent: As you mentioned, not every deal will work out. keep learning from each experience.- Balance Learning and Doing: While it's great to learn, make sure you're also taking action.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The lack of a second bathroom may be a deal breaker for some buyers and therefore, result in appeal differences. this may be especially true in 2 story houses, where you have to go to a different level to get to the bathroom.

As you now know with the review, guest experience is a big deal right now!
