I have a lot of outside investors that require me to attain a certain rent that may be overpriced from anywhere from 50-200 a month.After a while on the market, you're in the negative compared to renting it at the lower price.

ie. trade up from a 1 br apartment to a 250 unit apartment building, through realistically attainable deals, rehabs, financing, and value plays?

So much of what you attain or reach as far as your goals are concerned is determined by your attitude toward it.

This means that I have ample time to devote to starting my investing career.

I will utilize my real-estate agent to pull true numbers.20% down, 30 years fixed (I'm unfamiliar with abbreviations)2% seems high for my area, but I'm sure its attainable in some situations.

:) I definitely think your goals are attainable, with the 50k purchase of $100 per month.

That would allow me to attain the property for 252k and I think lenders don't usually allow double closes so I'd have to wait 30 days after taking title and then flip to an end cash buyer for 300k-320k.

My family and I own a commercial property located in Williamsburg Brooklyn which has seen an immense upswing in development in the past 8 years. The building was zoned m1 when we purchased it in 1993 and we curren...

For me 5% ROI is a minimum but obviously a double figure return would be preferable.... it's just that I never made close to 5% with equity holdings so for a passive investment I'm setting my goals low and attainable rather than trying to double my capital every two months by investing in cattle futures or Bangkok strip clubs ;-)Perhaps its a real estate syndicate that I'm looking for....no?

There seems to be ample room to flip this for a unbelievable margin.
