I am seeing ROI's in the mid-teens every year!

Otherwise, it's easier to invest passively to get IRRs in the teens.

I heard but have not seen the text that there is a rate cap, which hits mobile home investors hard since they need mid teens to make decent money and cover risk...Good luck, curt

And since I'm asking for your honest answer, I will give you mine as well.When I was in my teens I figured I'd be a millionaire by the time I was 21 and had contingency plans to guarantee it if necessary.

You dont want tie up your funds on a ok deal, wait a bit and find a sexy deal. 

Not sexy but it's fool proof.

There are also some good values and some real upside potential if you go inland a bit, like Riverside county - not sexy like the beach but the numbers can work better for flips, wholesales and even rentals.I also lived on Maui for several years during the boom of 2000 to 2005.

This is in accordance with our privacy policy - www.biggerpockets.com/privacy.I would hope that teens aged 13-18 have a more productive experience, which gives them better odds for future success, here on BiggerPockets than perhaps on other online communities unrelated to personal success, personal development, or personal finance, sites which may not provide such direct learning opportunities to become successful with money and in real estate!

Additionally, I much prefer to either entirely defer taxes or be taxed as capital gains, rather than ordinary income as flippers are taxed.That said, I look for mid-teens returns, low risk, and low-to-moderate time requirement in my own portfolio.Here's an example: I have a friend who is a hard money lender, and she brings in passive investors to provide most of the capital.

So many of the young ladies seem to think that some sexy pose and a seductive grin gets attention....yes it does, but not for my real estate business and any wife might make sure that card gets lost!
