IF your return was based on the value of each investment, and they were the same rate of return, the REI would be 5 times that of the stock market.Also, keep in mind that if the property value was 5% return, and the CF was too, you would be getting a compounded return by way of investing the cf as well.You can't analyze a REI the same way as you would a stock market investment. 

I read your opening post, and a old folktale comes to mind...  

Do you mind attach the MLS links for sharing? 

While the contract will give a psychological feeling of the “deal is done” in the seller’s mind, it won’t be binding....she doesn’t have the legal ability to sell the husband’s half yet.

The multi-family idea had crossed my mind.

Hey Guys.Alright some Advice from those of you with knowledge in the field would be appreciated here.I have my mind set on getting my First Flip Done.Problem is like many of us here, No capital to fund it.So i was thinking,A) Get A HML just for the Down payment of the house and Use an LOC to fund the rehab?

Keep in mind this was essentially a Triple Net Lease wherein I paid the taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs as if I owned the building.

Also, keep in mind, when it comes to commercial, some (depending on the asset type) are sold as NNN leases which require very little maintenance and property management, but offer lower returns.

Do you mind sharing your experience and any tips? 

No matter how blank your mind may feel, somewhere in the recesses of your memory you can pull out the last three words of what someone just said.
