From Job to Multi-Family Apartments income

Marty Summers

Has anyone in here gone from a Corporate job they hated to real-estate income rather quickly?

I have some capital to invest... could pull 100K.  What if I went big into a down payment on an apartment complex?  Any stories out there.....

I need to meet my real estate peeps in Evansville, IN.... anyone out there??  This Corporate world is killing me at 46 years old... need to move my career.

Thanks,

Marty

100k in my neck of the woods probably wouldn't get you into MF, remembering that MF is only 5 units or more.

I would look for 80 LTV debt and don't put down too much as it will start effecting your return and it's harder to scale quickly (but not recklessly).

Rule-of-thumb, again in my area, are roughly $200-300 in free cash flow per unit and if you were able to get a 5 unit then you would likely receive in the area of $1000-1500 per month.

Hope this helps and I thought my corporate job would kill me as well so I understand where you are.
