Let's compare the "Maple Plan" and the "Eagle Plan" in detail.With Maple, the investor is buying a post-rehab, retail-ready "pretty" house that is pleasing to the tenant/buyer (T/B).

There is more turn over on these properties , so when you go to sell, it won't be on the market forever (like office/retail/ other commercial assets effected by external economic forces).

My backbone has been retail Commercial and I've been around the 15-18 % CoC on those deals so Maybe my projections for multi-family may be a bit off but they are attainable , not 20% but I've talked to a few investors where they are getting 12 % + but i know they wont spill the beans on where they get the deals , we are in a smaller market ( 120k population ) I want to focus on Multi-family and really get educated as best as possible on it , I dont want to touch any other asset class .

Another thing...why buy product from retail box stores?
