I have traded maximizing cash flow for ease of management. 

I am familiar with the Philadelphia market and neighborhoods where units trade at or around $115K/door.For this to be a true 10.5-11% cap the monthly income should be ~$10,750.00 or roughly $1,800/unit.

Marvin has no money, knows no trade, did not finish high school. 

Here are two deal diaries of such setups -- one, a young couple who were living there and renting the place by the room, and the other, a young couple who were off-site but still rented by the room.It can certainly be done and is a great way to get your first place, have mortgage reduction (maybe even cash flow), and get some landlord experience.

By trade and training, I’m a marketing, finance, and strategy guy, but at heart, I’m an entrepreneur who loves working with people and building meaningful connections.Real estate has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and now I’m diving in to carve my own path. 

PS My realtor did me a solid and listed the place on that network for free and isn't taking a commission, but as a trade off I'm kinda on my own as far as finding someone when leads come in.

There was also a guy who pitched their stock option trading program.

I have great relationships with contractors and other trades to do rehabs, so nothing is off the table.

With margin trading of 20-25% of initial investment, when stocks market collapses with dollar cost averaging as a strategy  , leverage of the initial investment in stocks, the AAR can be more.comparable to most syndication (compared to 20% down payment in real estate).I have been following BP forums for the last 4-5 months and have spent almost 4-500 hours.

Big military base and probably lots of border trade if that continues.
