investors can figure on 10 to 12% return on PMLs   generally they are short term 6 months to 18 months.. in my 40 plus years at PML I find most investors started as landlords then tire of it and start to diversify.

If youre saying that the cost of the loan are approx $100k for these figures, then yes, that is ridiculous.

CostCoaching programs can be expensive, ranging from a few thousand dollars to six figures.

Carlos, that’s a jaw-dropping figure… $563,313 in interest paid!

I figured it had to be a bit higher (~20%) to leverage some risk.

@Kevin G. go hang out at your local Home Depot between 6-9am on a Saturday.They contractors there at that time are the hard-working ones.Then, you just have to figure out how to screen them so you don't get ripped off.- First Rule: you buy the materials, so they don't need 50% down!

I’ve hit a challenge in shifting my mindset and would like to ask the group - if I’m not an extrovert with a sales background and the cushion of a 6-figure corporate job, will I be able to succeed at REI?  

Did you figure in realtor commissions?

If you are struggling to figure those out, reach out and I can help.

@Zach Howard some copy & paste advice below:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
