We’re fortunate to have an above-average income and live well below our means.This summer, we’ll be moving to Detroit (PCSing in August), and we’ve saved about $120,000 to invest in addition to having funds set aside for the home we’ll purchase in Detroit.The reason I’m posting is that I’m struggling to decide how to best allocate the $120k.

I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them?

@Ming Huang Based on the numbers you've shared, I would advise against the deal, unless you can negotiate the purchase price down and/or rent it for at least $1,150.

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $283,550 Sale price: $283,500 Purchased off market. $25,000 Rehab. $20,000 profit after realtor commission.

Purchase price: $1,200,000 This is a 100+ pad community located near Downtown Bloomington (Near Indiana University).

@Chase Calhoun mainly we work with local builders but we have also purchased from the regional builders as well.

@Derick JenningsRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I recently watched a video on social media that mentioned the way he was buying properties and yielding the benefit of the sellers low interest rate is having the seller put the property in a trust and then purchasing the trust.
