A 1% rent-to-value ratio seems like a pipe dream as properties are operating at half a percent or worse, mirroring markets like Hawaii and California. 100% agreed mate,Much harder nowadays.Got to dig more and role up the sleeves.I've always believed the deals are out there if one looks hard enough.Just negotiating on to probates as I type this.$120,000 - $140,000 ARV'sTrying to pick up for $50,000 each.Decent condition and might need $20,000 cosmetic.Rent $1,500 - $1,700.Granted, I have the luxury of market knowledge, cash to close, remote workers and solid lists.Definitely not falling of tree's like 10+ years ago but still plenty of deals to be had.$1m in cash and someone that is willing to work the market hard for 2-3 years can retire off the income if investing in the Midwest.Just my opinion 🙏

If you do go that route, be careful not to hold yourself out as the GP, or at least clearly explain the roll you played because there are quite a few GP's in hot water right now who at the minimum were intentionally vague about their roles creating the perception they have a track record that doesn't align with reality.

Or see if you can find someone in his circle that he values and respect to serve the same role.

Nobody tells you how to achieve the second phase of the project, the sale of the property—which is the whole point of the exercise.

that may also play a role in your decision.  

It's your job to know the role of the game pieces and position them on the board in a way that most suits your bottom line.
