The number one way is to buy a saleable and in demand product.

NY, in my opinion, has become an increasingly common and to a degree NY itself has become homogenous with the various chain offerings of "local" product (e.g., replacing the deli with xyz chain).

Not every deal is going to be a home run like that, but most can be had for at least a 10 cap around our area relatively easily as long as you buy right, have a good product, and have amentities people want they run pretty well.

I have been advised by the Smart Charts trainer that all of the informaton in a local MLS is included in the Smart Charts product.

So to contribute year after year to a Roth is counter productive.2.

I think pulling everything together into one website would be useful in my mind... but I don't know how feasible this might be...One site which consolidates MLS listings (redfin.com, zillow.com), demographic data like distribution of family size, rental unit composition (city-data.com) rental comps for closed leases (rent-ometer.com, zillow.com), on-market rentals nearby (CL), walkscore/bikescore/transitscore (walkscore.com), etc...Of course, right now, these all have their proprietary models.. maybe you can just throw them a few pennies to aggregate it, or justify that the aggregated information is your own product..

If you want to deal with miles of government Red Tape you can work with them on getting FHA 203(k) loans which are basically the only pure residential construction loan product out there, and is only for owner occupants.  

Finally "B2R" financing is a newer loan product offered by Blackstone.

I will post pictures of the finished product along with the numbers when the property is complete.

Here is a fact sheet about it:https://www.fanniemae.com/content/fact_sheet/homes...I'd love to hear anyone's experience with this product.
