The balanced portfolio is nothing too sexy, it just requires periodic rebalancing to keep investments in pre-planned proportions.

We essentially turned them into 2 brand new 2 bed units save for the old sexy brick that we exposed.

The core A/B 4 units have not had as crazy of price swings and although don't look as sexy a COC they perform well in real life. 

I have failed multiple times not just in my teen years but also in my young adult life.

If you go private lender expect to pay low to mid teens for an interest rate.

I think the key for us is that taking on too much capital to deploy...as sexy as it sounds...is really hard to manage and hit return expections.

Close in LLC, or close with Fannie Mae 30YF with a sexy rate.Pick one...

They all sound sexy and awesome, but I would definitely advise you to just be careful starting out this way. 

The overall returns for your investors should be in the mid to high teens ideally.

I have bought Dave Ramsey’s books for my stepdaughter who’s family is TERRIBLE with money but you can lead a horse to water… I think his program is great for the vast majority of Americans and am looking into sponsoring the teen version it in my local high school.
