I probably have about $100,000 of my own funds to put up, (will need $500k Minimum) but don’t have the credit or the income at this current time (Just gut renovated my main residence). 

My career has been centered around helping businesses scale through strategic sales initiatives, but I’m now channeling that same drive into real estate investing to build long-term wealth.My wife and I are in our early 40s, both work full-time, and are raising four amazing kids.

I didn't have a Netflix account of my own at the time, and it helped me enjoy my time in their space even more.

It will give you an entirely different prospective on investing, time management, and economic outpatient care.

When a lease ends they’ll suggest new rents and if the tenant hold be offered a renewal. some will offer to transfer utilities for you when it goes vacant, all should handle the transfer when a tenant moves in  With 10 properties I don’t “talk” to my PM more than 2-3 times a year.

Buy a quality property, stay away from the hood, rehab it as if you would move in, take your time picking a tenant, you'll be find.

I’m also using a 6% vacancy rate, which brings the net monthly cash flow to about $200 and a CoC return of 13.06%.Summary:I’ve created around $50k in equity (difference between ARV of $200k and total investment of $155k).I’ve got about $10k or $18,385 left in the deal (factoring in closing costs).The cash flow is healthy, and the CoC return is strong, especially as a first-time investor.Questions:Does anything look off or could I improve the numbers?

At the same time you're figuring that all out, get your brother and friend under a lease, or at least, a written agreement both parties can agree on.

this depends on three things:1) your work ethic and personality2) your hunting and acquisition budget3) your timeTIME: If you're working full time, door knocking is out of the question.

I’m all for getting started and primaries make good rentals when only held for a year or two before they’ve had time to appreciate.
