So if it’s a 4plex I’d say 3-500 in cash flow with you living in one of the units is a good measure to shoot for 

But my intent was to set up a good structure to manage leads as I scale up so I can measure what works and what doesn't.

My partners and I are aiming to close on a 1.5M — 2M multi-family property sometime this summer.Thanks!

I am a buy and hold investor, so I wouldn’t recommend selling it right now unless you live in a hot market (where you can get more than it’s worth) and have another investment lined up (with a high CAP rate - I normally aim for about 10%).

I'm measuring whether to start it this year.

But you need to know that I prefer SFHs, I buy with 30 yr mortgages, I'm conservative in calculating my expenses and I aim for properties between 70-100K in B-ish neighborhoods.  

An absolute return considers appreciation and depreciation to measure the amount of money an investment earns over time.

It's always been our aim from the start to provide great CANADIAN education!

Like I said, this is going to be my first property so I don't know the exact CoC return I should be aiming for here.

I am less confused about measuring the return and whether it is a good deal or not than I am the process of negotiating a deal with a seller in which I plan to approach investors about.
