- again, spending 2 years building up a rental portfolio which we anticipate to have healthy returns and under the banner of the broker, how would one part ways amicably.Future Goals- not necessarily to bring on as many properties as possible.

I'd like to get a healthy debate going here.

There's a healthy investment to get certified, insurance, etc so wanted to get a temperature gauge before diving in. 

Lets create beautiful, healthy environments for people to live and make money all the while!

As with any business, effective marketing is the key to deal flow and I pay a healthy amount of money each month to get the number of leads I get each week, so it really depends on how much marketing you can afford each month and how effective it is. 

At such prices, it is possible to find investments with with month rent at 1% of the property price (that's 12% gross yield).Investing for rental income is easier than for gain, as one just needs to find a property with an affordable rent, in an area with a healthy job market to be able rent it, there is no need to find a property below market price as in the capital gain business model.At $900-$1400 per month, most tenants rent by choice as they could save to buy a better house.

I think you can relate same thing with most of the healthy market.

I prefer to give up more for the renovator, so they know when they come back they will make money on wholesale deals from me......don't count on it, but I have even had a few guys come back and let me get the difference of actual and retail costs I quoted for they safety.....rare but it does happenArv times 60% minus repair costs (retail)= your max offer you should never go over.....I always try and get more money by offering a decent margin below this max offer to ensure healthy deals, 10% is guaranteed if I can only get it for the formula max offer......as most will probably tell you I use what I use, however some will be more than mine others will be below, it is what works for me......I never break my max offer.

High cap rates and a healthy rental market = cash flow.I can speak for Bakersfield.  

Once "prettiness" dictates the choice of your primary, rather than "potential", we can't help you anymore.Congrats on having such healthy savings.
