The fruits of 40 hours a week labor, every week, for your whole life.

I want to continue in the real estate investment game as it gets my juices flowing and I love it.

Personally I’ve stuck with SFH to avoid tenant on tenant conflict but thsi will let you find out if “the juice is worth the squeeze: with very little risk. 1) I assume you’re getting a least a few percent off for not involving a realtor.2) I assume you feel confident with the value (maybe ask a local banker what they would lend you on the property and even lay for an appraisal.)3) this is all assuming that this is a small investment to you as I’ve described above, not most of your savings and all of your operating cushion. 

I am sure it could work well in a student setting where everyone is attending a nearby university, but other than that, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze.

Biggest challenge I would say was deciding if my investor was going to keep it 2 or 3 stories, obviously a large investment to begin but my investor decided the juice was worth the squeeze to go 3 stories up.

(Now, if you can do an STR or MTR, you can juice your rental numbers, but you're also doing a little more work.)To me, appreciation is the real money-maker in real estate.

Is the juice worth the squeeze?

They are made of thicker plastic, tougher, and odor/juices won't leak through.

In some cases, the juice isn't worth the squeeze; this sounds like it might fall in that category. 

We are finding that working with individuals in pre-foreclosure has been fruitful and there are so many people that have 40% equity or more.
