I think the issue stems from generational poverty, people not seeing or knowing differently.  

Let's say you can get this 4-plex for $100k today and it is generating gross rents of $1,200 per month.

So if you pick up a $675k property, all-in, you're going to want to be generating absolutely no less than $6,750 per month in rental income.

on there for the mean time to generate enough CF to service most of it..

But I know how to make the numbers work, and I've created a lead generation foundation that I can build on as long as I'm in RE.

Its not costing you any $$$ to hold and has great upside.I would hold this one and focus on other ways to generate $$$ and continue building.Just my 0.2 :)Thanks for reading and have a great day.

However, you must market in order to generate leads.

And that, if it didn't generate any interest, you would not be able to buy it. 

If a property generates 2% of purchase price in gross monthly rent, and if my expenses/vacancy/capex equal about 50% of gross rents, then I'm generating about 1% of purchase price in net monthly rent. 

What if I'm submitting offers on my own to owners that are not on the market, would it be safe to generate my own contract ( I know that the safest option is to have an attorney draft one up but I don't have an attorney right now or the means to get one) or is there a source I can go to to get an example of one?
