You'll allocate $2.4 million to $15 million by my calculations, with that range being the difference between buying 20 lots in the flatlands in the low to mid $100s up to the high range of buying 40 lots in the more expensive areas for $350K.Most of the lot buyers today are the big builders who intend to immediately build and resell, mixed in with a few end-users who are buying to build their own home. 

In the end, if one is lucky enough then the ideal portfolio in my mind should have a mix of these high profile city investments (SF, NYC, London etc) and a holding for cash flow generating assets in lesser known cities that get discussed here on BP.

@Skyler HarrisAnother professional engineer here in the mix, although admittedly I haven't practiced pure structural (picked up a few projects and clients over the last 2 years). 

A specific community I have researched, Edens Edge, seems like a nice destination to me, but looking at mixed reviews I am unsure.

Hi, has anyone successfully gotten a subject-to offer made/accepted on an MLS property with realtors in the mix?

Coincidentally, my dad bought a commercial mixed use property in 1963 for $25K, by 1981 zoomed to $250K, and paid off by 1981, and he was swarmed by Carleton Sheets students to do a deal with him. 

You should talk about to your tax man and come up with a % that your going to consider personal vs rental property as I’m sure you know this is very important come tax time.Be sure and remember your security deposits as well, you don’t want to mix that money up either.

I know that these are basically retail deals, so it’s more of a question of which type of building mix would would you go to.My plan involves selling a few of my SFR and transitioning to small MF around Orlando or Jacksonville and I’m leaning towards one building type of places because I’m thinking one roof vs two or three may help for maintenance.

I own a mixed use building in Connecticut, owned free and clear (no mortgage on it).

I've never heard of the town and know nothing about it (besides what I can find on Wikipedia and a basic google search), but the property looks promising (it's a mixed use building with 7 small residential units and three store fronts) and the numbers seem to add up when using the BP calculator, even being very conservative.
