When calculating IRR it is assumed all distributions will be reinvested immediately, which means there is a built-in compounding assumption that actually doesn’t happen.There is obviously a lot to consider when investing in a property.

Truthfully, 5k is not a whole lot to get started in real estate.

This community has a lot to offer.I'd love to connect.

That's a lot to ask of a complete stranger!

@Don OwensA lot to unwind here.

I am currently out about 3k which may not be a lot to some, but it is to me.

You have hit the JACKPOT of resources for real estate investors.

I would say the less of your own money left in a deal the better,however I am a newer investor myself and just bought my first investment property in June so I have a lot to learn yet. 

If you're looking to flip/BRRRR I would probably link up with some good rural agents that can run CMAs for ya.I know you can do some cool things like leasing a part of your land for horse housing (probably better term for this) but people pay a LOT to keep their horses somewhere

Or like the ones I bought that was paid for, but had high vacancy, an over paid manager and they were paying utilities...literally negative cash flow on 24 units that were free and clear...Single best indicator, yes, but when you say 75% LTV on 400 houses, there is a LOT to that story that isn't told.
