Not so big that it's unattainable but big enough that it stretches you.

If you have that much interest, have everyone show up in one 90-minute stretch on the weekend. 

Not being wealthy by any stretch and without much start-up capital, how realistically is it to start with little or no money..

You have to remember that the primary advantage of using leverage in REI (other than stretching your capital further, of course) is that your tenants pay down your note over time, essentially buying you 75-80% of a home (assuming standard dp's).

Decide what is most important to you, use the metrics accordingly, compare those to other available properties, and then make a decision.On this particular property, I wouldn't call it a home run by any stretch.

There are a lot of things that count as indicators for economic status, but Vegas room rates are about as ridiculous a stretch as I've ever heard.  

Honestly I have just felt over stretched and that leads me to half doing everything which I hate.

My goal is to continue investing in real estate; first to increase some initial capital and later to cash flow perhaps out of my 9-5.Looking to add another investment property this year, or two for a stretch goal. 

At the same time, stretched affordability after years of price gains, and the reduced deduction for state and local taxes, are weighing on certain markets, especially in high-cost coastal areas

I don't see these larger MF valuations as being sustainable by any stretch, especially given that 500 additional units are in various stages of development and we aren't silicon valley cranking out IPO insta-millionaires.
