For my next acquisition, which I'm looking for by April or May 2018, I have a specific cash flow I'm aiming for.   

To piggy back off sticking with 4 units or less which will allow you to put less money down for a residential loan vs commercial loan there are added benefits when it comes to cash on cash returns - which in my opinion is a great way to measure an investment. 

I'm looking for a 3/2 with 1-2 car garage, simple home, the 1% rule is somewhat close to my goals as for flow that I'm aiming for.  

My team and I are aiming to acquire and hold 4 leveraged properties by the end of 2018.

I am aiming for cash flow for my investments.Apparently some kind of renovation was done to the larger unit somewhat recently.

So far I've read Frank Gallinelli's book - What Every Real Estate Investor Needs To Know About Cash Flow...And 36 Other Key Financial Measure, and Brandon Turner's book The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and low Money Down.

Assessed value is a terrible measure of real value. 

(3)How should I measure the opportunity cost of my money tied up?

Ill be sure to reach out to Icon to get their rates and services, I've been in contact with AIM and they have quoted me at 9% flat with no additional charges but I haven't spoken to anyone who has used them before and a referral goes a long way.
