The Sharpe ratio, which is a measurement of risk adjusted return, was devised by Nobel laureate William F.

By all rights it sounds like a terrible idea everywhere except the money which is so intoxicating because I believe I can update the units and get significantly better rent out of them closer to the tune of $600 to $700 a month bringing this up to a 3% or better dealI'll be short sharp and sweat lolIt would depend on the area and how cheap you can buy it.Personally, I'd want to be into a multifamily for for $15,000 - $20,000max per unit (Purchase and rehab)It would also need to be a B class property/area otherwise I'd want to "buy in" even cheaperSometimes the area is rough that getting paid to take the deal of a sellers hands isn't worth it (Yes, it happened to me many times hehe)Much success

Should we do a greed check:) You will also most likely need to run your deals past your broker too, lucky for you he or she is probably sharp enough not to allow what has been suggested, you put your client seller in that mess only a relative would forgive you.Now, if you are acting on your own, not as a Realtor you might pull something out, there was a good suggestion, possibly, about refinancing but I'd not do it as an owner occupied, that could be seen as fraud turning around and selling after a refi.

Don't expect any sharp changes overnight, but you can see the movement.
