Happy to report I took back possession with well over $140K in equity.Thanks for shedding light on the creative side of real estate.  

Best wishes to you as well! 

Another option is to look into some funds as well that allow smaller investments. some are anywhere from 500-$10,000 minimums and accept non accredited investors (through regulation a+).If you ran numbers of a loan paying p&i at 10% but ot being able to reinvest the principal payments you realize how low your returns actually are. so yes notes are great but also understand that idle money for any investment is not fun.

Renovation work throughout both apartments, gutted and refinished the basement as well as extensive work in the private backyard.

Absorb as much as you can, find the passion and you will be reaping the successes well before your 30th birthday.

Well 50% is a bit much, IF you renovated properly.

I have a few friends that do MTRs in the Denver area and they are doing well. 

Rich dad and poor dad explains this concept very well.

In the Atlanta area they do well.

SFH under 200k, definitely exist. 300k for SMF as well.
