@Seo Hui Han, in a high interest/low cap rate environment debt kills commercial deals. 

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

The process of identifying a quality applicant is extremely difficult now with the amount of fraudulent paystubs, bank statements and IDs.

I highly recommend you call an eviction attorney before doing anything else!

There are so many variables to "what it costs" that even if I gave you a number, it could be high or low depending on the actual properties.

As it stands, my goal is to get to $10k free cash flow from high quality properties/tenants like Jonathan said.

Alot of factors to consider in terms of rates but Id say par for the course in the conventional space high 6's

I think people are investing in Midwest states, like Ohio, because of cheap prices, high rents, and landlord friendly laws

Hi everyone, new to the BP community and real estate investing, looking to gain quality information to help jumpstart my investing journey, thanks! 

Quartz makes sense for a high end unit/ fancy neighborhood where you can and will attract tenants willing to pay more for them.Repainting is often a no brainer, but could be based on the current conditions as to whether or it is needed.I agree with Melanie on researching the washer/dryer comps.
