Marica I had 350 C class rentals a few years back with a good portion in hud probably 80%... co pays were always a challenge and half the time never paid.. but what are you going to do evict them and subject your unit to theft and vandilism.. almost a gurantee on vacant units .. if we nursed them along usually come tax rebate time they would catch up.. 

Hi,I am looking to purchase my first MFR but hit with the challenge of being rejected by some local banks in Columbus, Ohio because I am resident of California as well as there minimum is higher than 650K.

And 2) I have heard there are challenges to refinancing with a bank under an LLC?

Now in terms of the returns, when someone is actively engaged in real estate (eg., as a landlord or a flipper or anything else) their returns over time are higher versus being passive (e.g., through a syndication).

This results in paperwork, processing delays and per-transaction fees that can add up if you are engaging in more time-sensitive assets or assets that involve a lot of transactions.

The complexity arises when you are (A) managing other people's money and/or (B) engaging in larger assets with more moving parts. 

I have been learning all I can and hope to position myself to be a resource for others as I learn more and take on new challenges myself.

I just read up on the concept and it makes a ton of sense to me.The real challenge is finding a 2-4 unit home that I'd like to live in. :)

I find it better to engage with investors 1:1 or in small groups.

In this uncertain and challenging economy... that was tough.I don't think I have a third one... lol
