There are companies who will offer lead gen services at a far more efficiency than a single person.

Typically when it comes to housing you'll want to stick to 3-story garden style without elevators and 18-24 units per building.

@Malcomb StapelHere's a good starting point. https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/financial-services/articles/blockchain-in-commercial-real-estate.html

The end result is 2 units added to your portfolio however you are now also exposed to the appreciation of the rental property at a 1 to 5 leverage.Of course that is assuming the property can also cash flow and service the debt of the new mortgage. 

The investment projects with purchase &rehab these days are typically $70K - $100K with a finished retailvalue of $130K - $150K.

If you are referring to cash as in mattress money/physical cash it cannot be documented.Gift funds however, typically don't need to be sourced.

If you are in the 37% tax bracket, the goal is to be cash-flow on an investment and have that income being shielded(by depreciation) so it isin't taxed at 37%.once you go above the $200,000 purchase price point, it is harder to find properties that will cash-flow with the typical 20% down payment.Best of luck to you.

From what I've found, Miami as a whole averages approx. 80% occupancy @$300/ nightAppreciate any help here...... as I'm typically one to do the leg work.

Unit rehab typically only makes sense if the unit is in poor condition or very old.  

I did not know if there was a typical elevation above BFE that people want or is normal for the area?
