Certainly budget for all of these, as well as the high transaction costs for sellers when creating an exit plan.The deployment concern is, in my opinion, majorly overwraught because of how the Army currently works in the current military operational tempo, and what an actual large scale military involvement would look like (it would be a tremendous boon for the area as new units were stood up, new soldiers posting here from basic, National Guard, and defense contractors flooded in, the Army Reserve activated and sent to Hood, etc.).And while a 1 industry town at the moment, it is a large city, the largest between Austin and Dallas, and still growing rapidly.

As an investor you want as little skin in the game on deals if you are looking to grow rapidly.

For example, I come from a family of real estate developers, but I was ambitious to learn rapidly and work for others in the MF development domain, so I obtained my first job (asst. project manager) for a division of KB Home (Kaufman and Broad Multi-Housing) that developed in-house apartment projects.

I do think this town house would be a strong asset long-term, as it is in a location and class of property that is rapidly rising in value.Why I don't like this deal: The cash flow numbers are pretty low. 

I am very interested in RE investing and currently looking at Rowan University being that it is only a short drive from my house and it seems to be growing rapidly.

My property is in rapidly gentrifying Shelby Park and is a large 2/1 but they I only get $495.

I own a rapidly growing brokerage and property management company in St Petersburg. 

I am closing on 2 properties in Grand Rapids, MI this week.

I hear a ton about fix and flip partnership where the passive investor expects a rapid return on his/her money, but what about those of us who are looking to help those people who have large sums of money sitting in the bank earning negligible interest?

There are some older multifamily properties there, and the area is improving rapidly.
