I manage hedge funds and local private investors and we are able to show you annual returns every year in the mid-teens.

@David Thompson Great insight, thanks for a different perspective, I like the mold of diversifying how you invest, it is similar to how I am looking at a new business adventure I started, While the returns of selling the product myself are greater, by letting someone else take a share of the pie and having them do the leg work my returns are INFINITE.

IF appreciation happened to be 3% instead of 2%, that would actually boost returns 2.5% at that leverage ratio. 

Thanks Josh Caldwell and Albert Bui I talked to couple of loan agents and they all said I don't qualify for a conventional if I am self employed without 1 full yr of tax return even though I had solid full time work history of 10+yrs with no gaps in employment.

The returns are higher and with leverage you can really grow your investment portfolio exponentially.

There are 3 ways to create returns on rentals: buy with equity in place, benefit from appreciation, and cash flow.

Unlike most organizations, I believe in keeping the historic look of the neighborhood, and revitalizing the homes, while allowing them to keep their rustic charm.According to the article the amount of sold listings has more than doubled since 2015 and home prices have increased from $113,000 to $143,000 in the last six monthsAlthough the neighborhood may not be quick returns, there is definitely long term potential in the Barrio Hollywood Neighborhood and we look forward to further investments in this community.  

I have a land parcel in the area of Richmond , VA , which i bought in a tax sale for a good price , it is 6.4 acres lot zoned residential in a great location surrounded by built houses also but needs and easement, i did the research for it how it gets solved , and the most convenient solution for it is that There is another 0.5 an acre adjacent to it , was already part of it and got separated by the old owner , which gives it an easement easily and that makes the whole lot easy to have other utilities based on the county opinion after talking to them and discussing that option , that parcel also past due on taxes , owner dead and heirs do not care about it and it is in the process of going to auction GOD knows when , but i assigned that case to a lawyer who had that case for almost 5 months and did not do anything to it after agreeing on filling for an easement by right through that adjacent parcel He did not seem to been working at all and i need to move the case to somebody else from the area who would start working on and has passion to do it ?

Owning a lot of SFHs for cash means low levels of risk, but also lower levels of return, since cash locked into a home is only performing at the rate of return for that home, rather than leveraged for maximum return.

And in return, can you receive mentorship from them?
