Additionally, if anyone has any ideas on how to find market lease rates and companies or firms that build steel warehouse buildings that would be greatly appreciated as well.Cheers,Mike

I will be moving likely within the next 8-12 months or so, and my wife and I are planning on renting out our house, so that's how I figure we will start.I've got a pretty good gig going with the AF so this will be more of a supplemental thing for me at least in the beginning so I would say I'll probably be taking a more passive role to start, although I'm open to anything.I spent the last two years as a recruiter so I've gained some valuable experience in Human Resources, advertising and marketing, cold calling, as well as general salesmanship so I think I can find a way to use those skills in this venture.

The cap rate is still at 10%, and assuming other buyers in your market would only pay $1,000,000 you have additional risk.If you are analyzing deals involving cap rates, it would be highly advisable to consult with a commercial broker that knows the local market well.

I have been listening to the podcast and am getting really excited to learn all about the different ways to earn additional income as a real estate investor.

Keep the rest (117k) for savings/additions/whatever else/maybe pay the monthly mortgage??

Failure to do so results in having to refund the entire security deposit, PLUS an additional 100% of the original deposit. 

In addition to the local REIA's, check into local real estate Meetup groups (Meetup.com) and there's also area-specific Facebook groups.

I want to add it to our rental portfolio.

So VRBO does my calendar, and mentions additional amenities provided as well.You can get an idea by looking on line and looking at properties to see what they are charging, how many days they are vacant and see if you can calculate how much you need during the off period.

Late last year we moved into a new duplex and kept the old one, and now rent out both sides, in addition to the other side of our current one.
