But investing is supposed to be deploying your capital based on your own risk tolerance to achieve a return.

Its very hard to make the economics work as a lender at such a low amount, have you considered private money or an individual looking to deploy capital? 

This property appraised over our initial projections allowing us to pull out more than our intial investment and re deploy capital for the next deal.

I am in the Military and have an upcoming deployment sometime around October-November timeframe. 100% financed using a VA loan. 

In my experience the maintenance and capital expenditures will be more economically deployed in the apt building because it is all under one roof.

I'm reading David Greene's BRRRR book right now, but I don't want to get myopic if I have other realistic options to get started investing I'm open to them.It’s all about how you deploy the 100k.

I'll add a few blogs below on ideas to increase revenue and decrease expenses but will share w/you one example we deployed last spring in a 320 unit apt community in north Dallas.  

This would allow you to defer the taxes on the sale of the land but get cash at closing that you can deploy in any way you want - you don't have to get back into real estate.

I still have a few months left of deployment so I can fix, adjust, or correct anything needed.  

Yes, it doesn't add up to 80k but I'd rather have peace of mind because I will be deploying in spring of next year and wont be on island to find renters when the 12 months is up.
