At best this property would break-even.San Fransisco has an (overall) average rent-to-value ratio of about 0.4% -- far below what an investor can get in other markets with stronger economics and lower purchase prices.I think eventually you'd find a piece of property with a positive cash-flow, but the length of time you'd have to spend to sift through enough properties to find that "diamond in the rough" would make the effort questionable.Additionally, the very high land cost under those properties carries a high level of exposure and risk for any investor since the first thing to drop when the housing market turns and cycles down are land values.I hope to meet you one of these days Ben. :-)Continued success!

Even skilled real estate investors with a long history will consider a partner with cash to expand their cash flow.

Your state may have a similar office.If you mean what job can I get that I can make $100K a year with no particular skills or background and get tomorrow, then, I'm sorry, there is no such job.

I bought the property for 30K.So get up-skilled in more methods of negotiation.

Some of my clients have different levels of comfort.1.They will only want the deal themselves2.They will partner but only a family member or long time business friend.3.

I think it's really about what level you are at.I was reading an article recently that said the most people start to feel wealthy and secure around the 5 million mark with 4 million equity and at least 1 million in cash.The people at 1 to 2 million felt like they were progressing but not close enough yet.Many people are trying to cover their lifestyle and business operations and to purchase more deals.

You don't need a license to do this and it will test your skills for bringing buyers and sellers to the table.

Get some stability in life, because you'll need that stability in order to get into real estate with a level-headed approach.

If all these units needed was carpet and paints and a few fixtures and other items then 3,000 a door might be reasonable.If it's a gut job on the units plan on 11,000 to 13,000 a door for stud up rehab.With you Clara all the way in Singapore I do not know how you could attempt to take on a rehab of this level.
