What the Midwest isn't: 1) An appreciation bell cow, but it also doesn't dip like the coasts either (think more stable) 2) SexyI see some questioning if the Midwest is truly legit, because RE agents are chiming in here trying to get business. 

Even if you bought with all cash and did ZERO renovations or capital improvements, just with the missing expenses mentioned above, your cash-on-cash return would be closer to 6-7%.You should re-evaluate the complete analysis to see for yourself.

If it were me, I would re-fi on that one since it's 9%.

FB and virtual RE groups are a great resource for networking with other local real estate professionals.

My husband and I are new to RE investing, and we're looking at a property we want to buy to start our portfolio.

My name is Evan Savage, a young professional and RE investor who recently relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for work.

@Mauricio QuintanaWhen you enter to an agreement with the HA, they have to approve the lease.  

I was a RE broker doing acquasitions for a large syndicator in the 80s in San Francisco / Sacramento market.. and thats what brought down their billion dollar buziness taking reserve money from good projects to prop up losers..

I did check up on DLP ( goggle search)  because this peaked my interest .. they have large Internet presence.. they are a brick and mortar RE brokerage with about 30 agents then they also have a Hard money company.. and it looks like they just decided to add this JV product to their menu...

I'd recommend you house-hack some small mulitfamilies and re-evaluate every few years.
