I want to control numerous bigger apartment complexes (100-150 units per complex) in c neighborhoods.As far as financials go, i'm doing well.

I have numerous emails from the tenant telling me she will pay me or how she doesn't have the money.

I've helped numerous Investors over the years and now want to start buying my own properties.

My net is significantly less due to numerous pre-tax expenses (Daycare FSA, Health FSA, retirement, etc etc) we gross around $56,000, a large difference from what I first posted.As far as SFH vs. multi-unit, I can certainly understand the desire for multi and the increased cash flow, however at the moment I don't feel we are up for the task.

Agree 100% - I think the search functions & the categorizing/labeling of threads deserves a lot more praise than what they get right now.

Thanks in advance for your help.Josh,This has been discussed numerous times.

They also have raised MIP upfront and ongoing numerous times.

I've been told there are multiple offers, give me your highest and best numerous times.

As a side note, my addendum has numerous weasel clauses that I don't really need.

That's what a forum is about and so far you are being very elusive.I understand your 50% rule of thumb completely, I just do not think it is accurate for all investments and I make a personal choice to use other calculations.I have said on numerous occassions that the 50% rule is simply a way of stating that the operating expenses in the United States for residential rentals run (average) 45% to 50% per year over time.
