So, you need volume and consistency to reach them.It's all about volume, follow up and striking when the iron is hot.

If you have all of your properties in one market, then you are subject to any downturns in the local market that range from a simple loss of employer to major natural disasters such as earthquakes or hurricanes.Diversification is a conservative approach, but if you have everything in one market and disaster strikes, then it can be a problem.I am in Memphis and believe it or not this is an earthquake zone.

Now I am striking out on my own with plans to fix & flip SFHs in Richmond, Concord, and Oakland—although I reside in Marin Co.

hey everyone,I just quit a job with a small local realty firm and am striking it out on my own, and starting my own private firm.

Houses/neighborhoods whose FMV are between $75K-$125K seem to strike the best balance of price-to-rent-ratio, potential appreciation, better tenants, lower crime rates, and lower vacancy rates. 

I type pretty quickly most times and though I am relatively accurate, I do have a tendency to strike several keys at a time that causes typos and I hate spelling errors.

If it's something I need to have in hand on the day I strike a deal, is it a promulgated form or is it a custom form I need to have created by my attorney? 

String after string of single and double deals with score lots of runs and success over time.In terms of cap rate and COC return on a a particular deal (considering the market you invest in and your goals) what ranges would you classify as an single, double, home fun or strike out (hopefully avoiding these completely).I know some investors are happy with a 6% cap rate while others won't touch a deal unless they think they can do 10% or higher so if you want to qualify why you set your range how you do that would be great too.
