I am interested in owning rentals, leverage, property management and long term I would like to do development on a larger scale as in doing my own commercial spaces or large scale residential.Ive been saving for a few years and just got back from Afghanistan so I want to purchase a duplex and over the next year add unto three.

The 10 Cap is calculated after expenses so that is a 10% coc (not counting closing costs) is what you receive with no leverage.

Rather, use sub2 as a cheap leverage opportunity.That being said, the numbers are everything.

I am wondering if you had a recommendation for a regional Texas (Houston) bank that provides convenience through technology from basic (online bill pay, ) to advanced (payroll, check scan, etc).Because of my travels, I would prefer to manage payments (to suppliers, to employees, etc) and conduct business more remotely.I would like to avoid bigger banks such as Chase, etcThank you,Mo

They strongly advocate learning about stocks, if you do the same with RE it's my opinion that you will be way ahead because of leverage.

Leveraging can be a double edged sword.

This is the sort of property that you would have to go to 50% LTV to get financed and someone with $100K to put in the property can likely find a more solid property at a higher leverage with that $100K to invest.

I am an advocate for technology and prefer to use the most efficient means available.

You're over leveraged, which means you have to have an exceptionally good deal to actually have any cash flow after all the costs.

I have used youtube videos in the past from anything technology related to setting up plumping under a sink an much more.
