Given that my unit is sandwiched between two others, could this be a structural issue affecting the whole building?

At this stage, the main thing we need is for me to get back into the workforce and get some money coming in, in order to achieve that dream.With that in mind, my immediate goal is to gain employment in the field of property management, as opposed to wasting my time working in another field that is not associated with real estate.

@Veronique Leroy No, I don't have any...but I'm having a hard time visualizing the type of property that will achieve those returns.

I bring sales experience from selling RVs and have always been interested in real estate investing as a way to generate income and eventually achieve time and financial freedom. 

This deal aligns with my strategy of adding value and achieving robust returns.

@Paul Lucenti It is common to equate acquiring more properties to scaling and many rely on buying lower tier market/neighborhood section 8 rentals to achieve this goal.

This can be the difference between setting goals and achieving them.

You can generally achieve better bank leverage and has a lower barrier of entry.

I have to caution would-be investors: Don't count on the returns they say they expect to achieve.

I have a program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable.  700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units.
