Amsterdam's Plan: If You Buy a Newly Built House, You Can't Rent It Out

I was going down that path a few years back, until I realized that after property tax and maintenance, it would be like taking on an extra part time job and only getting about $10K per year in return. And that's assuming they don't destroy the place.

Depends on the locality and when you got in - in the real estate cycle.

The goal is to have a property pad off by tenants in 20-30 years so you have a nice nest egg to add to your 401K.

Best investment are certain multi-unit properties - thats where the math works the best.
