As I have been listening to a lot of real estate YouTube videos I realized that my moving into the unit is a major contribution to this deal and instead of us paying 20% we got 5% yet we are contributing the same amount of money.

Quote from @Steven Mendiola: @Steve K.Yeah, the more I look around the more I realize the Rv option isn’t so doable.

@Jeff Fortuna@Dan Rowley   @John McKee - I'm receiving roughly 7% CoC returns for my two investments, with projections those will rise in future as they are able to realize contractual rent increases.

I.e. using John's $30/psf is great, until during your renovation you realize that a previous owner only update the wiring to romex in the unfinished basement, but didn't run it to all outlets and light.  

Stupid me for not realizing it was only for 1-2 years which is essentially floating rate updated annually or every 2 years.

I only use it for my client do get the credit card feeds but here and there an account or two is completely out of sync and I didn't realize it until my client's assistant was questioning the other credit cards.

Hell when you pull back the curtain most people would be shocked to realize that all those prim and proper super nice 50 year old lady Realtors that seem so nice; those ladies are some of the most cut throat sharks in the game.

I’ve been realizing more and more that I need to find a way to just get a deal done on my own to get the wheels in motion, which most likely would need to be long distance given the price constraints in my market. 

- and finally once you do this, realize it will never even be close to how it actually plays out in real life, but it can serve as a guide for what sort of money you may need to save up to try and actually accomplish something like this.

I didn’t realize that.
