If you had 150k you could buy one 400k property with 8k property taxes that rents for 2500/mo or you could buy two 200k properties with say 3k property taxes per month each renting for 1800.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 A fix-and-flip project purchased off-market from a tired landlord involved buying a distressed property with significant deferred maintenance.

Should I combine the marketing of my PM company and my buy/sell RE services in one?

What'd you buy it for?

The investor either gets a loan or buys the property in cash.

I’m currently working towards getting my real estate license with a focus on helping investors buy 2-3 properties a month.

You’re going to have to buy at least $1M (or whatever you clear after selling costs.), worth of replacement properties, not $500k.

Also keep in mind all those that equate this to buying a rental house are very focused on one thing and that is being a landlord and being landlord and buying rentals basically takes no special talent or knowledge other than basic math and ability to buy one.. 

@Shiloh LundahlHi Shiloh,I am not buying a property. 

Quote from @Collin Hays: If I was buying a property for a short-term rental, regardless of what it is currently used for, I would never pay more than 8X my annual projected rents.
