A 12 x 15 bedroom can easily fit four kids in bunk beds or two teens/adults, whereas a 10 x 8 room would be really tight.

You pick a solid one with upside potential (good location, quality home) and sit on it for awhile.It's not as sexy as everyone wants it to be. 

Again, lower your expectations.Good luck  Just spent a few hours stalking the new properties we brought to our PM book.Bloody nora mate, hard to believe what folks are buying and where and for how much 🤷‍♂️First time in 10+ years that I actually started getting worried a bit about our market.I mean, we are talking D class stuff selling for $80,000+All off the MLS also.Toledo got some sexy PR this year but this is insane.Can't sell turnkey in B class for sub $100,000 if my life depended on it.But D class run down $%#@ off the MLS selling for $80,000 all day long.And some solid comps to support this $#%@ also...PM is booming so we will ride the wave.Surfs up 🏄What a shame though....

I was not taught anything about investing or tax strategy as a child/teen, only to save money and don't buy unnecessary things (which is an extremely slow way to build wealth). 

Becoming self sufficient slowly, and conservatively is not sexy but it does work.

Their core product funds return low teens IRR.

If you get a loan to buy the real estate you would even get interest deductions, while the renters are paying down your debt making your IRR in mid teens.  

@Jerry Padilla Idk about this logic, I mean timeshares typically feature a lot of properties in sunny places and sexy beach locales, so I could easily see how the Poconos would be further down on the timeshare totem pole.  

The mortgage terms might be a little better if the buyer got the big sexy national tenant with 17 years left on a NNN lease, but that's not our scenario. - 6% cap rate reflects a nice safe part of Los Angeles, California, a prudent investment, not one that will make anyone rich overnight, but a place that higher net worth individuals park wealth to preserve it (imagine the depreciation write-off). 6% cap rate also tells us, right off the bat, that we're going to be in the ballpark of 60% LTV.- We will stipulate that this is hypothetical. 

And like Chris notes, if you start getting added to a dozen syndicator lists, all of whom are buying large-scale, Class B, Value-Add Multifamily deals in the suburbs of major metros, and 2-3 are projecting 30% returns, 2-3 projecting 20% return, and the remainder are in the mid-teens, I would really dig hard as to what is going into those 20-30% projections.
