Most have been lost to foreclosure it trashed: (Opinion: you can't just give people things they haven't worked hard to achieve because they won't appreciate them.For fun Google how many people lost their rehabbed houses given to them on the TV show Extreme Home Makeover.

What would be the right path to achieve this goal?

I could easily state that my kitchen knives and crock-pot have achieved a nearly incalculably high internal rate of return.

Question for the hive mind:I've just started to branch out into portfolio loans for my small multi-family purchases and most of the loan products I'm seeing local lenders offering make it seem incredibly difficult to achieve acceptable cash flow, even when some of the properties on the market hit the 1% rule or higher.For example, lenders are generally quoting me loans at 4.65-ish% interest on a 5-year term, amortized over 20 years, with an 80% LTV.The problem seems to be the 20 year amortization.

Just working to grow my knowledge on investing right now and hopefully achieve a couple of deals in 2020.Please feel free to reach out, I would like to connect with as much investing minds as I can on my journey to financial freedom!

I've been listening to Grant Cardone's podcasts during my drive to and from work and have been inspired to take action on what I want to achieve in my life.

You'll be able to see what's going on in your area and you can start meeting people that are trying to achieve the same investing goals you are.Best of luck in your journey!

I'd like to achieve a cap rate of greater than 5% but its just not possible at $150/sqft.

You could easily achieve 20% and more with prices two years ago, but huge interest in the Gburg area has driven up prices and forced the yields down.   

To achieve beat the 1% rule, you will have to buy properties at discount prices unless you want to own property in the hood.
