Cheers to (y)our Real Estate Success!

Per day rentals on these should be between $400-$500 and I would expect to make a return on my investment in year one and possibly make profit with these toys if all goes well.

I'm also single family home rehabber/wholesaler who has toyed around with buying apartment buildings.

The type of REI it sounds like you're going for is a long haul investment, so there's no rush to do everything all at once.Ok, additional notes....get comfy:You don't mention if you want to go the turnkey route or if you have interest in self-assembling a team.

Noah,What are you looking to do, buy and hold for the long run, fix and flip or buy and hold for a bit in hopes that the property will appreciate in value. if it's the last two, then you have to concern yourself with the market and where the value of the properties are going, if you are in for the long haul, does it matter if it appreciates a lot in value, as long as you can make positive money on income along the way and have the tenants pay down the mortgage for you ?

Picture American Pickers dust and cobwebs.I contacted someone who does estate sales and a junk hauling company.

I ended up doing lawns, clean outs, hauling junk, painting, digging, cleaning, etc. 

Here is some outside the box research I do when I'm looking at markets out of state;Call U-Haul and ask how much it costs to drive a vehicle one way from and to the market you're interested in.

I'm here for the long haul.

Also - pro Annual is cheaper than pro monthly over the long haul, so if you plan on being around 12 months or more, Pro Annual will save you a bit.
