Of course, I make sure my MTR passes the LTR test first, which is that LTR rates must AT LEAST break even the monthly payment or ideally, make $200 per door in profit.

I deal with mostly lower cost starter homes, so I stage very minimally.

Ideally 30k but could go up to 60k for the right opportunity. 

(I know what most people are thinking, not the most ideal degree to hold when getting into this business, but alas here we are haha) I am eagerly trying to break free from the whole "living paycheck to paycheck working for the man" type of lifestyle.

Ideally minimum 500 units under ownership/management.

Would like to know a little more about your ideal strategy.

Ideally, try to save as much as you can and keep expenses down while you go through the process of purchasing the property. 

Ideally I would like to see 3 years or more....

Hi guys, I am self employed with no proof of W2s, i make a living buying cars at dealer auctions and leaving them on a local used car lot on consignment, I have $30k liquid and around $90k tied up in my current vehicles, usually my  vehicle inventory is sub 11, I want to get into the real estate game but in my situation im guessing its hard to get a good deal in getting a loan, I am single, no debt or responsibilities , ideally i would like to start with a single family home but in the current market so high i would even consider condos/town homes.

You’re right; inventory can fluctuate frequently, and finding the right property can indeed be challenging, especially in a transitional market.I'll definitely consider this approach to give myself more time to find the ideal replacement property.
