We know what they say they are going to do and when they start sending $$ we think the plan is being achieved.

In any case, I doubt many people on BP would want to buy properties in Switzerland given the very low returns that can be achieved there.

I created the following decision tree diagram to illustrate the decision process (click to enlarge).The above decision process is based on the property’s performance record, with the goal of achieving financial freedom in mind.Financial freedom is not just replacing your current income.

I tend to do a quick dirty look at a building like JW with price per door, but after that sniff test, I quickly like to understand $Cost/SF and $rent/SF.The way I look at a single family, 2-4 units, or a 20 unit is all different, but the end result is still ROI or IRR (over time). 

Thank you @Dave Foster I look forward to my new venture and investing in real estate hoping to achieve financial freedom and enjoy my life with my kids and my beautiful wife that has a terrible debilitating autoimmune disease.

I'd be delighted to show you some examples of our investor clients achieving these outcomes with recent purchases. 

Please let me know who you have worked with and why you like them (How many properties do they manage for you, how long have you worked with them, what you like about them etc.)When the unit is vacant, do they cover the cost for professional photography to rent it out again, or is that an additional fee? 

I think you have to ask yourself what you're trying to achieve by refinancing at this point.

Each unit is 2 bed 1.5 bath.

Hoping to place tenants on the first floor as close to move in as possible (1st floor unit is modern and doesn't need any work), then quickly make the repairs on the 1 bedroom unit to update and turn into a 2 bedroom and get that rented as soon as that is done.
