Another update is coming shortly. 

Our short term goals are to obtain single family or multi family assets for long term rentals. 

This could be for buy and hold investors or short-term investors. 

Real estate is best option around to make great returns, both short and long term.

If I rent the rooms MTR, I'd still be short $1600/mo (0.85%).The property has a cottage, split into a micro studio and a one bedroom, and a 3/2 house with a semi-finished, stair-accessible, windowed, empty attic 75% the size of the house. 

I’m curious why you wouldn’t just furnish and short term the other two units and leave it zoned residential?

I may not be the best problem solver, but knowing that the job has to get done forces me to think outside the box.Both of these paragraphs help to shortly explain two things.

We've also gotten a new black-top on Hope Mills Rd, and I've seen a few places where pavements been ripped up for a few days, and then good to go shortly there after. 

Just so you know, 3 years is actually considered to be a very short time with syndications (with long-term running 7 to 10 years or more).So the way you asked your questions, only the most aggressive, nonconservative deals are going to be able to answer them (on things like selling properties after the holding period, capital being returned, properties repositioned).As a conservative investor, I try to avoid those deals like the plague...so I can't answer them.I can also say that I see thousands of deals a year.

Things I'm confused about: - Where should I start- Can I refinance, sell and buy within a short period of each other?
