I'm originally from Nebraska (Omaha/Lincoln) where most rentals still pencil out, so I have been looking there.

I am from North Carolina originally and looking to buy our next property in eastern Tennessee.

I've had one recent multifamily deal in Florida exit with a 32% IRR and one hotel deal in Atlanta refinance and return 110% of the original invested capital through dividends and the refinance and the hotel continues to make regular 16% distributions.

If I add up all the lender fees and my holding costs—like points, origination fees, and interest —I can figure out how much profit I’ll make and what my maximum offer should be.

That’s why my original post focuses on what can be done within that space to address affordability.

My markup is always lower than the original lender's because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl, my president doesn't have a corporate jet, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

My original plan was to buy 15-20 properties with REI if things went well. 

As luck would have it, his business had grown significantly, and he was now more eager than ever to acquire the land.He made me an offer 12 times higher than his original one—and well above market value.
