There is no one single way to invest in real estate and networking with many different investors may give you additional ideas for achieving your goals.

I did an exercise recently that showed the average appreciation on the average San Diego SFR in the last 5 years exceeded the cash flow on the average Midwest SFR for the last 50 years.Do you know how many months at $200/unit cash flow it would take to achieve $200K profit? 

Historically the best return would be achieved by keeping the property.  

As well as other areas to learn from and offer my time and knowledge of what I know to achieve this goal.

MFH offers so much more from the economy of scale perspective and you can achieve the desired results faster and easier too.

Its not the 13-15 CAP rates we used to see, but 8-10 is still achievable.

However, points and interest are just one portion of hard money terms someone should look at... there's also the junk fees, down payment, length of loan, closing speed, extension costs, flexibility with 2nd liens, etc.BTW, most new investors should be able to achieve 12% and 3pts at 90% LTC for a 1-yr loan. 

Not just for my family, but even my community, if I can achieve so much. 

@Raj G. correct, but a scenario that is achievable.  

I want to acheive this in about five years, which i feel is agressive but achievable.
