Additionally, I much prefer to either entirely defer taxes or be taxed as capital gains, rather than ordinary income as flippers are taxed.That said, I look for mid-teens returns, low risk, and low-to-moderate time requirement in my own portfolio.Here's an example: I have a friend who is a hard money lender, and she brings in passive investors to provide most of the capital.

Check out the website that Account Closed has - he has posted examples before (but they may have been removed by the moderators).

[EDITED BY MODERATOR - No solicitations in this forum.

MODERATOR: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPERTIES OR LENDERS. 

Based on recent sales prices , it appears that our property has appreciated about 250K and it doesn't feel as stressful now about putting all of my savings into this purchase.The other property that I have is a single family rental in the Sacramento area that we bought in early 2012 when the market was still down and looks like it has appreciated about 150K appreciation.Monthly rent: ~$2000 (cashflow positive after mortgages, taxes and other maintenance expenses by $100 /month)I have another 150K in various real estate crowd funding deals that are giving me 10-15 % returns.I am looking to understand more about real estate investing and  opportunities for buy and hold rental properties with moderate risk.  

You may want to have one of the moderators move this to a more suitable forum.
