I think you can model a decent double digit return but how do you transition to actually pulling money out? 

The current real estate environment that we've been in for the past several years hasn't presented any opportunities for deals like this.Because of the above bullet point, my real estate folio is kicking off a ton of profit each year which is fully taxable at ordinary income rates for me with federal plus state that means 42%From day one we've always self-managed everything, and built a great team of sub’s and handymen in every area, so that I’ve never had to do any labor.

Be professional in your communication & in-person presentation.

You have a friend, He will rent it in its present condition as soon as you make it available to him for $90 per month. 

Just make it digital so you can update it constantly.

So now I am 25 and I was finally presented with an opportunity (duplexes are super rare in my area/state btw) I put an offer in and it's looking like it's gonna be accepted!!

The best way to solve this situation now would be by ensuring you've presented the units in the most attractive way possible.

We meet twice a month: once to vet a passive investment together, and once to bring in an outside expert to present on their area of expertise. 

The property appreciation from 2021-present has been substantial.

my last post on this subject.I ran into a small company  6 folks involved  boy friend girl friends  they read rich dad book then went to a guru presentation and learned about wrapping notes which of course is the bizz model your talking about.
