I don't' think anyone is returning back to those mega office building in sf downtown because alot of people are moving out 1-2 hours and it's not feasible to commute anymore. 

However, my intent is to grow to having enough units that it will not be feasible (or make sense in terms of my time spent) to manage all of the properties myself. 

Not many people have the funds so this isn't feasible for most.2-Buy multiple properties through Conventional Lending (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) type of Conventional loans, which I don't recommend.

If closing on the new house before selling our home is not feasible, we'll just offer a 45-day contract and see if we can sell our home by then (assuming she accepts the contract).I know this is probably a long-winded post and I probably didn't explain everything 100% correctly, but any ideas you might have is greatly appreciated.Thanks!!

I'd also ask the local zoning department what exactly the property can be used for.With build-able lots in the city like this, it's important to know what the required setbacks and feasible uses are (make sure you'll actually have the required room to build something, and make sure you can actually build what you want to build).

Unless you want to pay $300 for each and every one of your potential wholesale deals, which is just not feasible.

No worries if this isn't the forum for that.One last thing, are the mountain properties outside of Asheville feasible for positive cash flow for long-term rentals or are they mostly ideal for STR's?

I think the biggest bottleneck there would be electricity requirements - most churches probably don't have the juice to support such an operation and the renovations required to get you there would be costly no doubt, and possibly not feasible depending on the building. 

Hi, As I look over the options for getting started in real estate I find that what looks the most feasible right now is being whats called a bird dogger or jobber.

If you can generate 20% returns (pretty tough to do, but feasible if you're determined enough and are willing to put up with the headaches), you need about $900K to invest.So, you need between $900K and $2.3M to have any realistic change of generating $15K/month in passive income.
