I have 20 yrs experience and bought 26 units just last year.

Military members stay for 3-4 yrs for every assignment then move on. 

The reason i say this is I'm still going through a divorce almost 7 yrs later to say the least.

Was Offerred rates of 5-6.5% after few phone calls, with early return penalty for 3 yrs etc and company was willing to transfer money to my account in 1-3 days ( it’s not a line of credit)Thinking of using this as a down payment for my next deal, but it took me 4 months to find my last deal. 

I'm currently 30 yrs old and thinking about the future with my kids.

, but too late :-(     The property transferred to my brother and I about 5 yrs  ago via Dad's trust. 

I did mention the ADS system for foreign properties since I believe the IRS publication talks about it; my CPA was of the opinion that 27.5 yrs is the standard time frame and so we should just do that.

The highest appreciation of 2-4 unit buildings in the last few years has been Lincoln Park, Roscoe, Lakeview, and Wicker Park area from what I have seen, but you get almost zero cash flow and will need to count on appreciation over at least 5-10 yrs to hit your ROI goal(s). 

I like the fact that you're estimating 2 yrs.

Unless, I find another source that can give me a COC of 7%, sitting on cash for 1.5-2 yrs for market to correct may itself be a loss.
