3-5 yrs / ebitaCash vs.

To be fair, she does manage a few rental properties that my parents owns...then again, she takes the current rent and divides it by the cost of the property from *over 30 yrs ago* and calls herself the best real estate investor in the world.Family, what are you going to do?

Its a nice color I put that up in my rental 7 yrs ago. 

Been in the biz for 10 yrs and still looking for those guys u described.

Essentially a small investment, good cash flow and a shortened pay down at 15 yrs 

I used FHA to buy a duplex, sold it a yr later to make an extra 40k, bought a SFR and owner financed next (10% down cash flowing 400 a month via subject-to), and got to 100k fairly quickly. 1-2 yrs.

Hello all, I have recently found out about a property (mobile home) that has been owned for 19 yrs or so, by a family member, is available.

In 25 yrs I am yet to use hard money although I could have on some of them.

(This is only 36.5% ratio ... and you are still missing some expenses as mentioned by @Robert Burk )NOI = $1,952.25Finance = $375,000 - $37,500 (10% down) = $337,500 @ 5% APR 30 yrs = $1,812 mo.Cash Flow = $1,952.25 - $1,812 = $140.25 mo. ($35.06 per unit)Slim margins for a rental.  

We will not get approved for a conventional mortgage through a bank because we have lived overseas for the past 5 yrs and can not show consistent income.
