My goal for the first year in real estate was to get two doors and by buying a duplex, I had already met my goal.

Hi, am looking to remodel only the exterior of a 2-BR home and a pair of garage apartments in the rear of the property.

To use cash flow to fund the living expenses usually takes at least 40 to 100 doors.

For example if the house you are looking to buy is a 3bd 1ba 1 car garage built in 1970, try and find the 3 closest properties that has sold in the last 6 months as close to your property as possible.

Use the 1% rule as a starting point to cut out all the “distraction” properties and get you honed in on the profitable properties and areas within those sub markets.Then, when you have your financing together, find someone who has a great property and great tenants and great return, and buy the house next door. 

Change your train of thought into buying DOORS, and buy one triplex or fourplex. 

From how I understand it, "garages" recoop their money pretty well when you go to sell.

I posted on her door and she stated she didn’t see it till the 1st which was too late.

Basically meaning, they're right next door and on one rent roll.

On average I have about $75 a month per door in expenses above the PM fee.
