Hi Robert, It's nice to meet you.

A nicely renovated 2 bedroom with a decent layout can get you $1800 pretty easy.

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.

I would walk recommend walking from this unless you will be sitting in a nice equity position once you have gotten the repairs completed.

Most people do not understand how Zillow generates much of its revenue.  700+ agents on BP buying leads instead of ~$200/yr for a membership is a nice new revenue stream for BP. 

There’s a nice mixture of commercial and residential properties and Evergreen Park is a very stable market.

STRs sound like too much work to me.Portfolio income = stock dividends, interest income (from banks, credit union etc), Master Limited Partnerships (Form K-1), Business Development Companies (Form 1099), bonds, interest earned from investing in a real estate debt fund, interest earned from being a private lenderAsking why our tax laws are written a certain way is not going to lessen your tax burden.

I like to call this a nice safety net for those that our younger and looking to save but fear locking up all their capital. 2) Keep in mind to contribute directly to a Roth IRA, you need to be under the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).

The deposit belongs to the tenant, not you, so it shouldn't be subject to any terms outlined in the PM Agreement.If you have a written contract, I recommend you dig through it carefully to understand what you agreed to.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy going to wine dinners, charity functions, date nights, piano bars, and nice dinners with my amazing wife.Excited to learn and connect with you all!
