The cap rate doesn't blend up much and they are syndicating to make money each time on the front end.

As an investor, the key really is to find a nice blend of cash flow and appreciation.

Keep looking at slightly more expensive multis and you’ll find the right blend.

That should give you a good blend of cash flow / appreciation and allow you to see some economies of scale.If you want to share some numbers, the community is always happy to take a look.

It’s hard to juggle and blend good faith duties, fiduciary duties, best practices all while trying to carve out as much profit as possible for #1.

You could buy a few of there units first, and use that cash to save up for newer, nicer houses and get a blend in your portfolio.

Then in the leases they have 3% annual rent bumps which over time makes the blended cap rate much higher and even with the increases you are way below market so the tenants tend to keep staying.

I'm assuming that pre-foreclosures are in the same boat as well.Actually, pre-foreclosures are in more dangerous waters, a short sale the bank just won't go there, screwing around with a foreclosure takes on a blend of federal compliance and consumer issues, cause a delay and you can get nailed.

Long Time Frame of 1-1.5 years: Purchase a blended pool of 7-9 Nonperforming Junior liens, and attempt to workout repayment, a settlement, or foreclose.  

If we look at overall response, it is just a blended sum by rate and volume of each segment.
