I have been following Brandon since 'Investing in your twenties'.My situation is a little unique, as I have mentioned on a few posts before I am currently serving my last year of active duty service and am looking at a number of places to start investing next year.My real estate investing strategy will ultimately be buy and hold, preferably mult-familys .

You can only have 6 rentals at a time, or ten at a time, or twenty at a time. 

** (Provided that $2.732M IS good market value).If you can't get TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND dollars rent per month by buying 3x $900k properties (or 6x $450k, or 12x $225k, or...), are you really trying? 

But I've also been investing for over twenty years and know the business.

You'll probably get tenants like me; young professionals in their twenties, maybe starting families, or students.

These are the only kind of transactions I've done for the last twenty years.

I got that  you're trying to replace half your income when you hit twenty, but will this one and a couple of more suffice?  

We're both in our late twenties and we both hold jobs while training for the Olympic rowing team.

That said, I think that once we get a few solid discussions happening in these areas, we'll be roaring to go.

We have a pretty strict criteria about what we'll buy, and I typically want to see a COC in the twenties on solid properties in decent areas with conventional 30 year/20% down mortgages (which is obviously tough to find right now.)BUT a deal just came up near me for 45 units - asking price is 1.65M, stated NOI is "Over $200k" (but with the variations I've seen on what some commercial brokers count as expenses, I'm waiting on more information to get really deep into this analysis.
