I started investing a little over a year ago and have earned almost $160k gross so far with 3 Padsplits.Next year if I do nothing, the 3 current properties should earn about $200k gross. 

Just looking at Zillow I’m having a hard time making the numbers work between prop taxes, insurance, management on 20% Down vs cash currently earning 5% (albeit that 5% going away soon with rate cuts)  To be completely honest, there's not much right now that will give you decent cashflow without getting into a full rehab.

It may seem syndications do not earn till they exit.

Once you invest in a fund, you've relinquished the single most important control valve you have: determining what investments your hard-earned capital goes towards acquiring.

if you buy a random property in a neighborhood you've never been to and turn it over to people you don't know you'll just lose money.not trying to be negative, trying to protect you and your hard earned cash.

I have no idea why folks spend a ton of hard earned money on these "guru"  classes.

Call me fiercely independent but I don’t want other people arbitrarily telling me what I can and can’t do with my hard earned property.

(Btw I can’t believe anyone would give that tacky designer wearing clown their hard earned money) Clearly incompetent like every other Rad employee. 

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

:They were “earning” $6500 a deal?
