It is a great place to explore and learn about REI, and take your time to discover what aspect most interests you.

@Nate Watkins the cap rate for this area is around 9%-10% it's a C class area with rents climbing through the roof.

If it's about the high prices in Honolulu I'd rather have one $400,000 condo instead of 8 $50,000 Indy properties with 8 roofs, 8 HVAC's, 8 tenants, 8 toilets, etc. 

Take a 1200ish square foot house in say Baltimore that needs a new roof, and the property is worth $50k.

This is another aspect of real estate that is pretty hard to break into.Bottom line every investor wants to connect with realtors that can get great deals for them. 

Be careful of these gurus.For instance, roof replacement is not $5,000 - depending on the size of the house, it can be $4,000 or $7,000 or $20,000.

How does it feels to work simultaneously on multiple deal aspects in a pressing time frame. 

I just recently had a deal fall through on a "fully renovated" because of issues that came up with the basement, roof and some of that renovated plumbing.

Three or more income streams under one roof is a far wiser investment. 

@Mark Senecal, try this link to the file on Google Drive and let me know if it works:  linkAlso, by turnkey I mean a contractor who can handle multiple aspects of the rehab:  plumbing, electrical, roof, etc. under one contract then hand the keys over as a finished product.
