I'm hosting our quarterly investor luncheon on August 10th at Big Spring Country Club.

On May 15th the taxes were actually due for this quarter. 

I expected a quarter of the repairs when I went into this deal.

that will be my fourth investment property and I'm not only not putting any cash down I'm taking equity out for repairs and rolling a truck loan into it as well.  

You need to pay SSMED for 10 years or 40 quarters to be eligible. 

One actually tore a quarter-sized hole out of the vinyl.

The 2018 second quarter RealtyRates Investor survey says that apartment cap rates are on average between 4.9-13.8 nationwide depending on LTV, but the survey is not limited to recent acquisitions and I assume that those that participate in the survey know what they are doing .So this bring me back to my question: for those who are actually set up to responsibly invest but don't have the experience or network to hit the 15% CoC returns in today's market where the pros are also claiming good deal are hard to come by, is shooting for the 5 cap cash purchase on their first deal to learn the ropes a crazy idea?

A second bathroom sounds nice but maybe the need for your market is a fourth bedroom.

(smaller buyer pool of people able to qualify) Eyeing the Federal Reserve Graph showing historic home values, I think average sold home price should be somewhere around 1st Quarter 2013.   

A few months back we had one that was $500,000.25 (or whatever it was, there was a quarter on the end).
