Our team has just gotten our first commercial property under contract and our time will largely be spent in these areas in the immediate future.

Once I'm finished I would just want my purchase price amd the money I spent on renovations back back...for example, i buy a house for 100k put 50k of renovations into, house would now be valued at 250k.

Do I take a year's rent and the money spent on the rehab to look at my return?

I’ve spent countless hours trying to find the best mileage routes.

As for San Antonio, I lived in Texas for a dozen years and spent a few days per month in San Antonio for work for a good chunk of that.

I spent a number of years in Milwaukee, that's where I had my first rental property and gained a lot of my RE experience.

Over the last three weeks I've read 7 of the real estate books and spent hours listening to biggerpockets podcasts trying to learn as much as a I can and narrow down my focus.

I appreciated Zach's call today and the time he spent listening to me, and also sharing what he could do to find a solution to my situation.

I’m not promising a fairy tale, but if you want guidance from someone who’s spent late nights haggling with contractors, tweaking staging plans, and emailing roofers at odd hours, well, I’m here.

If you work a day job in addition to your plans to pursue real estate in this way, then focusing in 1 city/MSA will drastically reduce your time spent focused outside your job, allowing you to keep your income high, your job safe, and your problems simpler.
