I am the director of the Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps and love to travel around the country and world with the band.GOAL: Invest in small multifamilies in the suburbs/city area of Rochester and self manage until I can replace earned income with passive income from real estate (approx $50,000/yr) to move into a second career path.I do not own any property at this time but I've been doing my homework to be as prepared as I can be for when I get started.

I’ve been interested in RE investing for several years, as I’ve found that I’m good at digging up opportunities and closing, and I enjoy crunching numbers and analyzing problems.I’m interested in meeting people who have set up private money / private equity deals in the past, especially if it involved single-family residential buy-and-hold strategy.I’m also looking at pulling the trigger on the local Lifestyles Unlimited seminar, because I have a lot to learn, and also because I want access to what Lifestyles considers “best practices” in what will be my market.I’m happy to hear all sides of any idea and my hobbies include playing devil’s advocate and drumming at my local church.

GRM = 6.2CAP Rate = 9.6%Drum Roll....ROI = 26%Plus Appreciation, Depreciation, mortgage write down and you are rocking it!

Jay, that is a good observation - BP has been drumming for cash flow, because they have realized how many people speculated on appreciation and lost everything.
