Over the years I became more and more involved with some of those people and as an adult started taking them to lunch to "pick their brain" (Not my favorite term but you get the point).One of these Gentlemen I have continued to meet with and give him updates on my business.

NO REPAIRS FREE PICK ME PICK ME, #1 Homebuyers in [City]... when they rankk #33, and all 32 people above them also claim they are the #1 home buyers.I mean SERIOUSLY are you born without a brain?!

I'm gonna assume you do know & I'll pick your brain, gain your confidence, and you'll tell me what I want to know about the deal 8 out of 10 times. 

Who would want to do this deal that has 100k, no one with a brain in there head.

waste of time money and brain cells.. move on  its part of the bizz.

An example like this is https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1377-14th-Ave-San-Francis...Another example is https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1949-23rd-Ave-San-Francis...This house was sold for $1.1M (way under current SF market), simply because there is an protected tenant inside.Just want to pick up everyone's brain and experience here.

I’d love to connect with you sometime and pick your brain.

Account Closed is correct, absolutely do both.. especially if youre just starting out even Grant Cardone started with a SFR. but for the sake of his question lets say you have 100k saved up for a real estate endeavor TOTAL, and you find a SFR that fits the 1% ratio (100k house that brings in 1k rent) that is doable if you calculate it out that would equal a 8.2% cash on cash IF it stays at a 90% occupancy rate. on the other hand if you invest that 100k into a limited partnership with a company that invests in value add apartments will now your cash on cash can be a preferred 10% with a target of 16-20% IRR which would essentially double your money in 2-5 years.. in this scenario the SFR would take sweat equity from you and risk while only returning a measly 8% CoC while the MF would be completely passive allowing you to learn and grow without hindrance with a 10% CoCnow we are over simplifying but I hope this made sense.. cuz my brain hurts ;D

It isn't brain surgery. 

All the while their BRAIN is recovering- which can scientifically take upwards of an entire year before it’s completely ‘healed.’
