A lot of these are nightmares with crap tenants and old high cap/ex houses. 

@Dan Rivera  Your analysis does not account for the challenges the lower tier real estate (Cobbs  Creek as an example) has absorbing expenses and cap ex.

Also, eventually, the renovations are out of date or worn and you need to do another cap ex spend. 

If you are looking to do a complicated structure, ex. wyoming holding company.

I bought a house with my ex, and after a few years, we split up (on good terms).

For ex, do you have a CFO with 0% equity?

Our advisor thinks we should exit soon as we have some major cap ex costs coming up.

I am not beeping harsh as she requested additional eyes which was good and she was receptive to inputs… I consulted on one today that had 95% LTV OO but no PMI, 2% vacancy as self managed including delinquent rent and tenant turnover, a maintenance/cap ex that was based on percentage but was a quad and her allocation was ~50% of my estimate, and no PM even though she intends to move away in a year or so. 

Consider the $ your ex-partner took out for personal use and try to match that amount to distribute to you if you transfer it for more than the mortgage.

Hello all,I'm seeking advice on achieving a higher ROI in real estate investments beyond the 1% rule and maintaining around 35% of monthly operational expenses (including Cap-ex, maintenance, property tax, and vacancy).To the best of my knowledge and abilities, the 1% rule with 35% operational expenses seems to be the best I can achieve today.
