Think like a guest: you don't want your socks to turn black while walking through the house, have a crappy mattress with flat pillows, rough sheets, not enough paper towels or toilet paper, bad wifi, etc.

This is for the purpose of having a strong foundation that will minimize risk from any “Black Swan” event and will also increase your long term cashflow.When investing in real estate or business in general, one should always look to protecting the downside first before looking at the upside.Just my opinion 🤷♂️Regarding your $50,000 budget for turnkey.It will mostly be C or D class which I would advise against.High crime, lot of volatility, unemployed tenants and property management collects rents with a bullet proof vest and shot gun.On paper things look great, in real life they are much different.On the other hand, if you DIY in a markets like Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.You can definitely be into a B class asset for $50,000 purchase and rehab.Wishing you much success

He empowered blacks by being the best he could be in the open market, not by creating a private club and limiting himself to only those that looked like him.Just $0.02 from a guy that wouldn't be allowed in your club, so take it for what it's worth. ;)

There's no black and white rule of thumb but if you're on the GP side, no matter the split, I'd say it's fair to claim it in your portfolio.
