They cash flow very well with one property taking in $2,425 a month ($29,100 annually) and the other $2,245 a month ($26,940).I’m actually surprised at the hurdles I’m encountering trying to get someone to loan against these properties, even at a 50% LTV (conservative estimates are each building is worth $225k - $250k).Some of the more common objections I’ve heard are:“We don’t loan to out-of-state owners.”

If possible, ask to see the underwriting for a case where there is no renovation plan, at least for the first 12 months, and see how that impacts returns.Factor #7: Organic Rent GrowthThe seventh and final factor is focusing on organic rent growth.

(OK, now that’s a more-doable objective.)Let’s say you feel like multi-family real estate is worth pursuing, so you’re past that stage.

Lots more folks doing 100% grassfed/finished, certified organic, wagyu/wagyu crosses, longhorns/longhorn crosses, bison, farm-to-table supply, et cetera than in years past.

@Mario Gonzalez I live in NJ and am planning to invest in real estate for rental in short term and sell it once the investment objective is met.

I have seen organizations make good real estate deals only then to get ate up with office brats running up the soft cost.

i have leads from the city, driving for dollars, and online sources-However how are you keeping it straight with followup and organization not being compromised?  

The objective is cheap single-family houses for long-term rental, that do not require reforms or are minimal, not flips.  

@Shawn Mcenteer is the organizer and it is held at a great brewery.

I haven't seen that catch on in a meaningful or formal way here but with housing and rent prices what they are, I suspect it's happening more and more in an organic way.
