That would probably net around 4.5-5% cashflow plus appreciation given my overly simplistic formula for cash purchases. 

There are only two reasons to get your license:-Are you doing at least 10 purchases/sales yourself every year?

If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries, positive growth trends, and bright economic forecasts.Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards that appreciation!

Purchase price: $146,000 Cash invested: $42,100 Bought through hard money.

Hi William.I maintain a Lowes Pro card that I use every time I make purchases either online or at the store.

It's looking like 2018 is the year I pull the trigger on purchasing a multifamily. 

I am living in New York and am planning to purchase my first property in Lehigh Valley, PA. 

Year 1 cash flow matters (don't buy a cash vacuum), but price appreciation and rent appreciation is how you get real economic security and build wealth.

Too much demand chasing too little "retail" ready supply (Hello Economics 101).           2.

The property I plan to purchase has two parcels.One parcel, 0.18 Acres, has an address assigned to it.
