Don't be scared of what I've just said. 

I've just subdivided my backyard to build two townhouses, should be breaking ground in September, and have been working extensively with a great architect and engineer in the process, so have learned a lot.

Hi Adam, Recently found that investing group.

@Chrissy Arnold Thanks for the valuable information, i have a list of about 100 properties and i've just been mailing letters but i'm definitely going with your recommendation, I've actually heard great things about listsource, i have yet to give it a try, besides that one, are there other resources you would recommend that are great to buy a list? 

I've just been trying to evaluate properties to get the hang of it.

//I've just started researching them myself.

Hi Franz, I've just written a Blueprint for Investing from Overseas here - https://www.biggerpockets.com/...You may find it helpful! 

.$700 rent / $20,000 means my properties yield 3.5% on your scale...agreeing with you that dividing $700 by .012 (1.2%) you would be paying $58,333.00 for your target return.I fully agree some folks prefer to hit the $100k cost and $800 monthly rent (0.8%)...I've just made a damned good portfolio getting into the border zones of Toledo...blue collar predominantly rental neighborhoods.

I’ve just learned about the existence of wholesaler franchises, such as HomeVestors (the Yellow “We Buy Ugly Houses” guys).

I recently found that cottonwood heights for instance only allows you rent a basement apartment to a family member.
