I'd say you're better served thinking about current return on investment rather than "cash flow" per door.If you start with an assumption of what income you need in order to live, and peg how much capital you have to invest, you can figure out what annual percent your investments need to throw off in free cash flow to meet your living needs.If that percent is unreasonably high, it means you either...

Welcome to BP @DB Bailin  Those terms are perhaps a little high but if it is your first deal that is not unreasonable.

I would not install it if I had to cover the entire cost because that would set an unreasonable precedent.

I feel like everyone in LA area thinks they know RE so there are more investors willing to overpay and more sellers with unreasonable expectations. good luck and check out FIBI Long Beach if you can.

You have to get over the initial mental hurdles on your own.

I'd like to have enough passive income for both my wife and I to quit our jobs within 10 years (assuming I can get a job in the next 10 years).My biggest hurdle is going to be convincing my wife, who is very risk-averse, to go along with this.

The biggest hurdle for me is finding competent Realtors who will give you accurate comps and drive by the properties to take pictures.  

If you aren't coming around an unreasonable amount of time, you are fine I would think.  

Action is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Thank you The hurdle is going to be financing.  

We do pay Elite on the back end, but they have ALL of the skin in the game.As the owner, my role is to recruit agents, train them, provide structure and accountability, identify the obstacles that slow them down, demolish those obstacles and then to get the heck out of the way.I absolutely love this business and love even more helping agents to make an unreasonably high income.
