Anywhere from loosing about $4000 on my first to more than doubling my money in a month (and literally no work) on my most profitable investment.Invested in 6 buy and holds (7 doors) in SF and Richmond, CA.And a Realtor to boot.It is indeed a tough investors market in the Bat Area right now.

I am interested in wholesaling, creative financing, subject to, rentals, lease to own, probate, assignments, and double closing.  

Took all of that refi cash and put it back into a development syndication where it will double that amount by the end of this year.I just sold those two AR properties because I decided they were not worth the trouble.

Now I'm really beginning to double think whether this is a good deal or not.

You would probably need to double if not triple your projected negative cashflow as there will ALWAYS be unforeseen circumstances.Bad things always happen in real estate, and those risks need to be managed very carefully.Make time your ally by holding positive cash flowing real estate

You'll probably find you can make a much higher return on your investment on a house hack than on an OOS rental.I bought a house hack duplex and furnished it and rented it for 30+ days and doubled my rental income.

Had a horrible experience as a landlord and has been living in the place for 4 years with 2 units empty and already bought a new house so he’s paying double right now.Asking $200k (willing to negotiate a little more)Appraised for $230k in 2018 in current condition$35k in renovations neededARV conservatively is $250k, more likely $275-285k.Rents would be $2200-2500/month once fixed up

A strong sponsor team will have already evaluated the property to ensure the cap rate is comparable to others in the area, but you could double-check that your property isn't’ 4% while others are 7%.#2 – What’s the reversion cap rate?

How are you going to double that income in the next year? 

I've done numerous additions to the building, and it's doubled in value since the purchase.
