The property when it was built in 1980 was an A property but as time, and ownership changed it has gradually gone down the scale. 

The situation allows for an excellent opportunity to work with a property manager and build trust.I am looking to gradually build and scale my real estate portfolio in Atlanta by purchasing one property each year.

Here are a few things that I like about the neighborhoods in Indy compared to other states: high rent-to-home-value ratio, consistent and gradual city development, relatively low property tax and insurance cost, affordable renovation service cost.

Prioritize stable cash flow, good location, and manageable property condition, while considering strategies like gradual rent increases, expense reduction, and value-add improvements to enhance returns.

We have always kept inherited tenants, gradually brought up the rent.

I am unconvinced that the new administration will meaningfully address the deficit and US credit will continue to erode gradually, contributing to rising rates.

This is obviously much better than $1,400 per month.On top of that, you will now get 2x the depreciation write-off so your taxes should go down.On top of that, you will now get 2x the appreciation when real estate price go up.On top of that, your tenants are helping you pay down the loan, initially at about $100/mo for both properties, which gradually gets better and better.On top of that, you now have more units so if one or two goes vacant, you have more renters covering the losses of the vacant units.If you want to keep these properties, I would do a cash-out refi and go buy more rental real estate.

So the money does get taxed, but gradually.

This isn’t about immediate affordability; it’s about creating a sustainable system that gradually reduces costs and increases accessibility through scale and efficiency.Institutionalizing Cultural and Economic ValueSimilar to how pension funds and university endowments operate, this model institutionalizes cultural value.

While these expenses don’t provide an immediate tax benefit, they increase your property’s depreciable basis, allowing you to recover them gradually through depreciation deductions once the property is operational.
