SFH's are a great investment and can cater towards a family type tenant.

Are there certain offices that are better catered to Real Estate Investors?

If the mess is not just untidy, but old food about and things that invite pests and even unsafe conditions, you should take pictures.

Lots of potential and food amenities in a 4star school district.We have a HML willing to work with us and are estimating about 60k in rehab.We are looking for potential partners for this deal in order to come in at a reasonable offer price on the contract.Seller is requiring proof of funds which we have obtained but based on the loan amount were coming up a little shy on the purchase price.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated on where to go from here!

Be a Bird Dog for awhile until you figure it out, then climb the food chain to be a wholesaler, then Buy-FixUp-Rent/Sell.3.

I think they just aren't talked about quite as much because cash flow is what puts food on the table.Just running a quick example through my spreadsheet:$100k purchase, $1100/mo rent, $2400/taxes, $600/yr insurance, $1500/yr maintenance, paid in cash yields 7.64% return on your cash or $7,644/yr of cash flow.

From last minute weekend getaways to family reunions and two week long vacations, there are rentals that cater all sizes of families.  

If they have been there 10 yrs they may not have any reason to leave so I might cater to them some. 

I believe there is no one way to do real estate investment, really depends on your skill plus luck & timing to bring it together and there are many ways to this food chain. 

Make it fun, reward friends help with drinks and food, as well as yourself.
