I consider it purely cosmetic but my tenant keeps asking when the flooring will be replaced.

If I am helping to partially financing them but bring on other investors that support my plan/idea (I don't know if they will be partners or purely financial backers), does that make me essentially a developer?

So I have been asking friends if they would co-sign on this loan (to purely borrow them for their W-2 income credentials) and in return for helping me qualify, I would pay them $1000/month while I own the property.

Cap rate is the pure way to measure investments, because it removes financing.

I have seen it happening in Sac near downtown but it’s bit inconvenient for me purely from time and day perspective.

My question:  From a purely real estate investment standpoint, is it better to buy something in the lower range that may have a bigger return on investment?

We're both 26, by the time we're 35 I would like for us to have over 100 Units generating pure cash flow bringing in at least 60-80k/Month becoming financially free in our mid thirties!!!

Losing 8% whenever I sell makes a purely "appreciation play" not nearly as valuable. 

This is more something of personal preference than pure analysis for you to consider.  

(but yet somehow I am still proud of it and want to teach folks how they can do the same, but obviously have more than 4... through the power of consistency)However, I just wanted to share my proud moment of having these 4 followers with you guys in Bigger Pocket, so maybe by just pure luck or perhaps by your very own curiosity you get to check it out to see what I think about commercial real estate world of investment and why on earth am I doing this...
