I’m living in Bay Area where finding deals that generate cashflow is impossible.

We recently completed a study on MTRs, which revealed that MTRs are likely to generate more than $1/SF above long-term rentals.

I am a real estate wholesaler operating for the past 4 years in the DFW Metroplex and I found that it's better to keep things simple, and not, deal with real estate agents who don't want you biting off (what they view as) their profits.

Which profits can than be utilized to carry forward into the then "good" MFH acquisition timing of things. 

My guess is that it won’t actually take you a lot more time, just the extra fees, but those should be accounted for in your profit calculations 

This generates wealth FASTER.

You have 2 tanks, 1 above the other, with a water wheel (alternator/generator) in the middle. 

Good luck to all of us = )   Actually I'm a partner with 2 other seasoned note investors and we have our own Reg D equity fund that buys 1st position NPLs and RPLs with a preferred return and profit split to our investors.

My background involves social work & non-profit management before getting into real estate.

Analyze potential rental income versus expenses carefully to ensure the property will generate income from the start.
