I love Portland and understand their sales prices relative to the rest of the country.When I flip, I like to look for a min 35% return on my capital after expenses.

- 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.

Hi Ali - Rochester NY is a great place to invest and get a decent return on your investment.

Buy/Hold is going to tie up your cash for a long period of time as to where flipping presents a fair amount of risk but offers a much faster return.  

So what I'm getting from this is that I may spend the 20k now but it will return 30k in 2 years.

You can get in easier and still get a good return on your money.

My skill is finding homes that qualify as good investment properties for a quick flip with a high return in the Atlanta market.  

You can offer them good returns and turn their money over fast.Good luck!

There are lots of different ways to structure the relationship so that the money guy gets a good return, and you do too.

$26,000 a year for passive cash flow is pretty solid, if you 1031 the sale and you can get a return greater then $26,000 I would consider selling.
