We own several in one complex where our acquisition costs have ranged from 75-90k/unit.  

This is my first post on Bigger Pockets but I've been a podcast listener for a while now...and I am stoked to say my partners and I owe a lot to this site and members' posts to our recent acquisition.

Picture this...My first acquisition.

Money Moustache follower for a few years now and am starting to see that despite relative frugality as compared to my peer group my best bets to pursue FI are in the acquisition of rental properties (in or out of state).

Got hard money for 10% of acquisition and 5% of rehab (and broker fees :-/ )Rehab time took about 4 monthsContractors and supplies (cabinets were 3 weeks late) pushed my timeline I was aiming for 3 months.Acquisition cost 187k negotiated down from 200k.Rehab cost 100k and finance carry cost will be about 15k.On the market for 387k in order to stoke a bidding war hopefully somewhere north of 400k. 

Hey everyone, I'm currently working in land acquisition for a few companies in the Houston area and am running into some hiccups when trying to get homeowners on the phone/in person. 

Any future commercial acquisitions for me will be owner financed or $1M+ Freddie products.

For example your acquisition costs, cost of repairs, the amount of time you own it and how much time you are spending.

I would suggest throwing it back into your marketing: pump up your direct mail, hire another VA or acquisitions manager. 

I get hired by billion dollar REIT's to evaluate their acquisitions (mostly for rehab / repositioning scope/budget) and to do suggestions for long term maintenance issues.
