And yes, private communications about finance are more fruitful than any forum.....with qualified folks. :)  

If you have a policy on the property, and the lawyer has an obvious target, the low-hanging fruit is to go after the policy's liability limits.

ROI should not only be about money, but also work and fruits of said work's labor!

You have across the county, low rents per door, not enough units for passive with scale (need 80 units typically or more), barely covers 1% rent to purchase price if sellers numbers are completely accurate, and has no additional big upside to blend the cap rate up.

I've been in a very technical IT role for 12 years and I'm trying to blend technology with my RE portfolio/strategy. 

Look at your housing situation first, then your transportation, then go after low-hanging fruit like vampire-like outstanding personal credit, then think about how to change your food budget intelligently.

That way you can really sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour.Its something I'm focusing on now myself.

Most of the markets that provide a good blend of both cash flow (yield) and growth right now are in the Midwest.

Maybe your the type that likes to see the fruit of your own labor which we have done before but it ALWAYS takes longer than you thought and you are not making any passive income while you sleep at that point.2.

Eventually the fruits of your labor will show because most people believe after they see.
