Looking to get a rental or two with my current cash pile, I do not believe in a direction at this point in stocks, crypto, or most commodities, so I am not trading them.

forced appreciation is an artificial increase in value realized when the property is sold; there are a number of things you can do to improve the property,  new appliances and services for tenants,  obtain an upgraded appraisal, increase rents, upgrade tenants, and coin service laundry machines. 

there are a lot of companies that specialize in rehabbing and re position MFR.. they are not just coined turn key or in the turn key space as that term seems to be used for SFR's

Interesting to see the other side of the coin, the Developers angle.

Flips, buy & hold, crypto?

Don't know when that became a thing in all businesses (crypto seems to have the leading kid coaches) but i'm curious if you have input on paying/learning and how you approached mentorship. 

This plus the fact that the building is in a rather poor state leads me to believe that the revenue from the HOA fees and coined operated laundry machines may be going in someone's pocket rather than in maintaining the building.

I put cap ex at 1000 per door a year ball parking it so 160 a month I am not including the studio in these evaluations because I will live theremaitnance as 85 a monthvacancy of 160 a monthSo over all looks like this so far.40k downprice 158500rents 1700 monthtax and insurance 560monthcap ex 170 monthmaitnance 85 monthvacancy 160 monthall together 975 a monthsubtract that from both units rentAnd there is 725 left over enough to cover the principle and interest and leave like 100 bucks left over for my utility's and such.current owner says the coin laundry downstairs covers the water and tenants take care of there electric and suchNow just 100 left over isn't much only 1200 a year not a very good return on 40k but when I move out and instal a fire escape in the studio as I live there I can rent that for another 550. after I adjusted the numbers for the studio this deal looks really good because I am able to keep pretty much everything the studio would produce.I'd get like 6k a year and get a 25 percent cash on cash which sounds as delicious as it can get.It is in a working c class class area. on the worse side of it. that's were most of the duplexes in the area are to be honest.

Are there any laundry hookups or coin op on site?
