The real prohibitive costs come from the legal, compliance, and reporting requirements of registering a security.

If you are new, be sure you can raise the funds before proceeding.In my opinion, you are going to have a hard time raising money with a 6% pref and 70% of the profits after that unless you have a lot of newbie investors in your Rolodex. 

However, there is a specific deal Which I find hard to understand the ARV for.It is a Single Family Home, 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom, 850 SQFT.These two comps have a price gap I find hard to understand, even when considering the difference in renovation level.If anyone knows this market well enough to understand the cause of this difference, and if it might be due to an issue with the location, or if there is anything I am missing.Comp 1 - 1011 Elm Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 2 - 1109 Walnut Street, Burlington, NC, 27217 (120K)Comp 3 - 1505 N Park Ave, Burlington, NC, 27217 (180K)Thank you!

Things have to get much worse for insurance rates to continue to grow at 10-15% annually in perpetuity.  

Great bunch of experienced and helpful people. 

I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

I currently own a 3/2 ranch home with about 100k in equity and have 100k in liquidity.

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.

or options 3, 4 and 5 don't supply washer and dryers and either the tenant provides their own, rent appliances or goes to community laundramat.
