I'm an LP in a large retail deal, but mostly I run direct industrial.what are you looking to buy?

Currently own my primary residence and 2 investment properties are a beach condo (short term) and single family home (long term rental).The problem is I run a successful business and have no time to do the research in new markets, deal flow, upgrades, making sure cashflow, property management, etc.I am also not a real estate professional.

Quote from @Michael Potorti: Analyzing areas around Columbus OH for purchasing duplexes and SFH for appreciation / cash flow - would like to stay in $100-200k range - any insight on where to target and areas to avoid are appreciated. we are building at 100k a door right now. if you get a bigger budget please reach out.

You just tag your transactions as you go and then run a report at EOY.

When you run the numbers they don't work.
