Mortgage money is essentially free right now so an extra $25,000 on the purchase price because there is a brand spanking new six burner Wolf range in the kitchen can seem reasonable.

I am in Manassas and I am looking to do a live-in then rent with my current property which seems to be around the same purchase range as yours.

I know portfolio in my area range from 4-8% depending on a ton of factors.

Example: I'm looking at duplex's in the 100,000 range.

Don’t wait to share your ideas or goals until you think that you have all the answersI LITERALLY did everything wrong on trying to get your significant other onboard with REI.Everything ranging from giving vague answers as to why I was spending long nights on the computer searching a website about real estate to talking about buying our 1stproperty without seeking her input as to why this would be a good thing for our family.What I should have done was this:a.

A friend of mine had an idea to buy "smaller cell sites" since the larger towers seem to be out of our price range as well as dominated by larger players.

Off-site companies may be in the 25-35% range.

Our goal would be to find a property, likely in the 500-900k range, that will cash flow and require potentially some but not extensive remodeling.

Because they were all sold over a year ago, I don’t think they give a man accurate price range for the current market.

I agree with @Pete Harper; I live in half of my duplex here in Killeen, which is a 2:1.5 that was previously rented out for around the $650-675 range when I first bought it.
