While this number is overall very low as it pencils out to only about a 4% return per year, I found it interesting that my dividends were twice what the appreciation was considering this was supposedly a growth fund and not a dividend fund like their heartland REIT. 

The number of private landlords sued for more than their insurance will cover is astronomically low.The best protection: follow the law, and treat your tenants honestly.

I'm considering a multi-family in dutchtown right now and know VERY little about the area and St.

Lots of MD, DC and VA members in the area. 

Photos to come What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Frank Newsome recommend you first understand how the S8 program works!

Here I have contact info, lease info, AC filter, trash day etc plus all the income and expenses.Then I have a Master tab that has all properties, so I have the big picture of gross rents received.

@Devin James What I am hearing from a lot of buyers is they’re tired of the grey/white combo and personally I can’t stand it as well but I love what you did with the floors, this is a very clean look and I actually like what you did here.

I do my own due diligence and call all reference numbers, past landlords, and do an in person interview.

We actually are lucky enough to have found private investors over the years.
