Post: How Would You Invest $200k?

Thanks for the post, Jack. I have been investing exclusively in LA and yeah. Hard to beat the appreciation of properties in LA and California in general. However, my current portfolio is mostly rent controlled properties and there are a lot of regulations on these properties that limit the potential. I guess there are positives and negatives to all geographic locations. Have you had any experience with turnkeys? Negative or positive? 

I guess I'm looking to diversify my portfolio and look out of state because I personally feel like LA is overinflated for the time being. 

Let's connect and I'll send you some numbers to see if these are good deals. 

Thanks!

I've been searching for properties throughout the United States, own properties in 4 states and I never found an area better than California even with California's high prices. Just last week, I posted numbers showing you can purchase properties in Ohio for $50,000 per unit, in California for $300,000 per unit and you will make far more profit in California because there is still more upside for increasing rents in California and rent increases automatically increase the re-sale value of multi-unit properties. The problem with states where rental units are cheap is the rents are too low, will remain low for many years and the when the properties need repairs it takes many more months of rental income to do those repairs.

If you have $200k to invest look for no less than a 4-plex and try to get some sort of financing with a low down payment, or wait until you have more cash.

I've been putting together some fairly neat software for doing all sorts of breakdowns and before you purchase a property feel free to post all your numbers and I will put them in my software.

Wow! Thank you for all the replies! The reason for wanting to invest out of state is because of less landlord friendly conditions in LA. Luckily, I only have one unit that hasn't been paying since the beginning of the pandemic. I love my tenants and but these mandates are really incentivizing/rewarding bad behavior in my opinion. Regardless, this isn't a political post. 

Some of you mentioned syndication. I'm so new to this. Does syndication bring in the COC ROI, Appreciation ROI, and building Equity ROI? This is the main reason why I love rental properties. Three fold wealth building strategy is truly a thing of beauty.

And does anyone have any resources on where I can get involved with syndication?

I was also looking into self storage but it seems like I need relocate to the location of the business at least when it's first set up. 

Truly thankful for the wealth of knowledge in this forum and for all of your generosity in sharing!

Blessings,

I know there are a multitude of answers to this question and each will have positives and negatives but I was just wondering....

What would the best real estate investment be with $200k? I'm in Los Angeles and I am pretty wary of investing here due to the eviction moratorium and problems with the State's/City's policies. I'm looking into Turn Key properties but there doesn't seem to be much return these days. 5% cash on cash return seems to be the average based on some properties I've seen. Texas properties seem to break even for turnkey properties. I do like that paying off principle and appreciation is there but cash on cash ROI would be great.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Wow!  That's a lot of awesome information, Mr. Cuttonaro! Appreciate it!  Better to be overly cautious I think.  Thanks again!

Do you recommend any specific Skip Tracing service, Mr. John Anderson?

John Anderson, 
Aren't these just credit rating agencies?  How does one check if these people have scammed other people based solely on their credit?  Thanks for your help!

Thanks Brandon McLean!  I'll look into SmartMove.  

Tasheana, I've been interested in Notes and Turn-key real estate in the Mid-West. 

Thank you!

Hello BP members,

I've been a member of BP for a little over a year now but I have yet to jump into investing with partners. I would like to partner with some people but I don't know the best way to do a background check on them. 

The reason I ask this is because I've been browsing the forums and there are some discussions of BP members getting scammed (even by other members of this site).   I have yet to find recommendations of good background check agencies or companies. Can anyone recommend a good vetting agent or professional organization? 

Thanks in advance!

Can I rephrase my question? I have about $400k to $500k to invest and the property I'm selling is being sold for $900k cash buyer. Which strategy would you bring the best return for properties that I could possibly invest in within the next 6 months?
