At 2% Net Cap Rate - to make 100K a year - the property has to be ~5MM.And I'll need 25% of that as down payment - 1.25MMThat's not easy for me - nor very fruitful.So, I wonder whats the point of this.In contrast - if you look at flipping houses from a foreclosure - its not uncommon to see routine gains like 50K on a 500K asset.

Has anyone ever given their tenants a document like this, and if so, how did it work out?

Finding a good renter who likes condo living seems like a relatively safe bet...if the positive cash flow is not eaten away by capital expenditures, lack of reserves, and routine maintenance on big ticket items.  

I have a little cash (around 100K) I'm willing to throw into a deal if the numbers work out.

All these rule of thumbs that are on this site don't work out numbers' wise in 90% of the markets in the US.

Maybe it would work out if you found one in real estate.These are all small suggestions, but the main point is to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before jumping to pay the irs $35K in taxes.

., hoping it would work out.  

Hi everyone, I am close to investing in my first duplex buy and hold property and have a few questions for experienced investors:1. the duplex is currently owned by turnkey supplier.Based on BP rental calc, the numbers seem to work out okay for my goals.

Just wanted to learn how the research go and did it work out.

The key is knowing if a national or regional tenant would want to go in there.Larger spaces I have seen entertainment complexes, workout facilities, churches, indoor trampolines, outlet stores, etc.Additionally you can take a large space and cut it up to lease to multiple tenants at higher rates per sq ft.
