@Joe VilleneuveI was under the assumption that by studying my local markets, I would be better equipped to make a sound investment decision should the opportunity arise.

You will learn that my studying finance or talking to a lender a lot.  2.

I spent 5 years in New York City working on High End remodeling projects and have had the privilege of studying at the feet of master craftsmen. 

Study and know the concepts behind the questions.

-------------------What comes to mind for me reading your posts is the Classical Greek expression << οὐδέ γρῦ >>, which means something like "without a voice."

I currently own an investment property which is a single family home rental in Lawrenceville, GA and a real estate investment company entitled Classical Estates, L.L.C. 

2024 is 6 years awayI plan to spend the next 6-12 months learning and studying dealsI estimate that in order to replace ~$130,000 of gross annual income I will need to have that same total of net cash flow from my properties by that time (I currently only own two single family houses)If I make the assumption that the deals that I find/buy return $500 per month of net cash flow then I will need a total of 22 properties to equal $132,000 per year (22 * $500 = $11,000/mo. * 12mos = $132,000/yr)The $500 per unit estimate is not a per door estimate, rather a per unit estimate.

Hey everyone, My name is Drew Greene and I am looking to get started in real estate investing as a way of replacing my income over time so that my Wife and I have the freedom to enjoy life the way we really want, traveling and working projects we're passionate about.I am studying business with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Supply Chain Management at Northeastern University.

@Jamie Beltran, it sounds like you may be making a classic mistake and capitalizing the the rents from the park owned homes and rent to own homes at the same rate as the park itself.

It would be much more productive to study and get your real estate license, work finding deals for people etc.
