Yes, it is possible to purchase a rental property through an existing LLC, but how it works depends on the type of financing you’re considering.Since you mentioned no-cash financing or a DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loan, options may include:Seller financing: The seller acts as the lender, and the property can be purchased directly through your LLC.Hard money or private loans: These loans are often asset-based rather than income-based, making them suitable for LLCs.Partner or joint-venture funding: Bringing in an investor or partner to fund the purchase through the LLC.Keep in mind that lenders may require personal guarantees, even when purchasing through an LLC, and the LLC must be properly set up with its EIN and operating agreement to hold property.

Under those circumstances, it's very difficult to model anything as the outcomes would almost entirely depend on guests/tenants and their behaviour.

In the wholesaling/investing space, the standard benchmark most people shoot for is a 0.5% to 1% response rate (so 5–10 calls for every 1,000 pieces sent).In terms of closings, the 'rule of thumb' is usually 1 deal per 3,000–5,000 mailers, depending on how competitive your market is and how aggressive your follow-up is.That said, I found that the 'cost per deal' was getting eaten up by bad data (returned mail).

A 2/1.5 with garage 45 min outside Pittsburgh might rent in the $1,000-1,400/month range depending on the specific town, but you need local data.3.

It is 100% doable depending on your goals.You make money 4 different ways in real estate:1.

This matters more than people realize.Get it wrong, and you could accidentally trigger 15.3% self-employment tax that you didn’t actually owe — or miss deductions you were entitled to.Same property.Same income.Very different tax results depending on how it’s reported.The answer isn’t guesswork, and it’s not “whatever TurboTax defaults to.”It depends on how the rental is operated and what services are being provided.If you’re running an STR and qualified under the 7-day rule, this is one of those details worth slowing down and getting right.Curious — for STR owners here, did you report your rental on Schedule C or Schedule E last year?

I must say depending on your financing plan, a 2-unit is a simple first step with less management, but of course a 4-unit in San Antonio usually offers better cash flow and scalability.

The real signal shows up later, and it depends on execution.For context in the Syracuse market today:Median single-family home price: roughly $200k–$210kTypical stabilized multifamily cap rates: approximately 6.75–7.5%, depending on asset quality and submarketWhat I’d be watching first isn’t rent growth or pricing, it’s risk mitigation.For projects of this scale, the earliest meaningful signal is when uncertainty starts to come out of the deal: power delivery timelines firm up, permitting and site prep progress visibly, and construction sequencing looks real rather than aspirational.Micron has broken ground, but meaningful construction activity is expected to ramp in 2026, with initial fabs not expected to become operational until closer to 2030.
