I have a property with a concrete wheelchair ramp. figured someone would love this. 

I would not want to run a business and lose money every month.You have to sit down with a business/life coach and figure out what you want real estate to accomplish, how is it going to fitinot your life.

If you are still not able to make it, you might have to go back and go through all your returns and property documents to figure out the cost. 

Yep, the second figure has to be the correct one.

I have $1.5M in the bank, and I’m trying to figure out the best move for my situation to start building out my portfolio and making moves towards financial independence.

@Sinuway MartinezRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.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 Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

So at some point it’s easy to figure it out.

They get their cut, you get the property.Of course, you have to figure out what it is worth and whether that's a wise investment for you.

Most importantly, figure out if long distance investing suits your personality and competencies.

Did you ever figure this out?
