Infinite ROI. Thats your goal

I have bought and sold hundreds of properties and I have represented well over 1000 clients in my real estate agent and real estate investor career. The question I am asked a lot is what is a good ROI. My answer simply. INFINITE. If you do it correctly and buy right you can use OPM to buy every property. I typically use hard money or private money to purchase the property at below market value then rehab to increase the value. Then have the property refinanced through a conventional lender. Generally under the perfect scenario I can then pay off the hard money lender and in some cases even pull out cash at the closing. Its harder these days to cash out due to the stricter lender guidelines but as long as the property will appraise you should at least be able to pay off the HM loan and essentially buy the property with zero money down.  This is easier then it sounds because as we all know the hurdles are finding the good deals, know what you are doing with the rehab, knowing the ARV, managing the entire process, having good hard money and conventional lenders that you have built a relationship with and so on .... I throw in this because this business is hard but the rewards are fantastic if you stick with it and work hard and work smart their is no limit on how big you can grow.
