Long term I would like to establish a business that my children could work in, and eventually inherit(should they chose), or at least cash out on.  

We invested all of my income into 2 pure rentals before we were transferred again.We use our transient military career to invest in personals because they have 1) cheaper down payment 2) Lower interest ratesWe live off of one income (my husband's) using mine when it exists (it can take awhile for me to re-establish myself in a new area) into pure rentals.Because of our transient life style causing home to be "relevant" to the current set of orders.

@Samuel DeMass with all due respect, your spreadsheet doesn't help much.

If you position yourself as a Super Serious buyer and not at "Beggar" looking for your 1st deal people will respect your time.    

Unless its very low valued assets or a very well established TK type player that has deal flow.  

Of course, COC return is very important and must also be respected... assuming a positive cash flow, property leveraged at 100% (not advised of course) has an almost infinite return, whereas, if you pay cash for the same property you now have a limited returned, albeit more realistic, return.To value purchase price of property, I compare GRM (much easier to derive) and along with my internally calculated CAP for the property.  

Right now there is 1 electric meter, all circuits go to each unit respectively it should be simple to add a 2nd meter.  

I think multiple parties have to work in synergy and respect each others expertise to get to closing.

My personal connections to markets are Chicago and New York (where I'm from, where I live, respectively).

I'm well-versed in a many types of real estate transactions and am looking to join an established or new investor or investment team with an even keel and a spirit of camaraderie, as a working partner.
