We recently came upon a small property and are seriously thinking about purchasing our first rental!

We purchased the house about 3 months ago and are owner financing it.

To be successful as a real estate investor in any form - except maybe purchasing the Vanguard REIT index fund - an investor needs education, knowledge and understanding of real estate principles, real estate law, and real estate finance.  

They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

I am under contract to purchase a Quadplex.

Purchase price: $129,000 Cash invested: $5,000Condo we lived in and fixed up.

This growth typically drives significant appreciation, which is the key to making this strategy work.For example:Let’s say you purchase a property for $300,000 with 25% down in a market with an 8% annual appreciation rate.

I would  show you purchase strategies, real estate monetization, rent roll leveraging, portfolio margining and asset protection/deep tax deductions  

I’m a Portland-based real estate broker and work with many investors navigating cross-state purchases.

The property is being purchased at 103 with an ARV of 375.
