Appraisal for post renovation is 5.5 million.1 million equity for one deal and around 9,000 per month in cash flow once stabilized is life changing to me, along with the cost segregation.You can make money in real estate in so many ways, whether you're @Jay Hinrichs funding deals and developing, or @Brian Burke syndicating, or wholesaling, buying single family homes, fixing and flipping, short term rentals, etc.The key is to pick you vehicle and master it.I would be remiss to say that I believe multifamily is the holy grail of real estate investing.

The best FX traders don't trade short term according to charts and signals, but over periods of months and years as they watch large scale economic changes unfold on national and global levels.Cryptos aren't nearly there yet.

Next is to explore what strategy (long-term rental, short-term rental, mid-term rental, fix and flips, syndication, etc...) fits your investing goals and then your location.

This may be an unpopular perspective, but I believe long term hold is going to win out on short term 9 times out of 10.
