In MN our season change makes the market slow, but the pricing is astronomical for the area.

I know there are plenty of people buying these larger properties without astronomical net worth and down payment money.

I was curious if you had that many doors in CA or US.. as I know some cities in CA prices are astronomical and 30 doors would be like 10million plus in real estate 

Bet the bills are astronomical.

@Patrick Hagerty It depends on whether that $200K is a down payment or your total budget.If it's a down payment, most of greater Boston is open to you, however the prices in most of Boston are astronomical.  3-plexes in Jamaica Plain (where I grew up) are routinely selling close to $2M. 

A lot of them contrary to popular belief on BP are pretty experienced folks and looking for that next edge.But a lot of them are pure beginners and the success rate for them is astronomically low...

If I did such a setup, would the electricity bill be astronomical for my tenants? 

Need to crunch more numbers because they have astronomical HOA fees up there and 30% (of rent) short-term-rental management fees so that might kill all profit - but if I can find something that cash flows even a small amount after all that and it's also something I can get enjoyment out of, I would really like that to be one of the properties I acquire with this equity.Pay down my primary home mortgage by about a third to save on interest long-term; wait to buy further rental properties until I have a down payment saved up.Buy something to fix and flip, repeat (This has always intrigued me, although I'm not as comfortable with this as buying a rental simply due to familiarity and lack of time to do repairs myself; for the right numbers and if I built a network of contractors to help, it could be fun.

My concern is providing astronomical amounts of money (myself or a buyer) for homes where sellers' agents are requesting certain percentages upfront.

The sheer cost associated with lead abatement at the scale required to ensure ALL lead paint disappears from housing would be astronomical and would bankrupt almost every landlord in the state if an order was handed down to make it all happen.
