Selling the property the same day for $50,000 presented a unique investment opportunity with minimal risk and high returns.

At an extremely reasonable 5% return you'd be earning $500K per year. $5mil in RE and $5mil in REIT's/stocks gives you great diversification, liquidity, and cash flow in my opinion.

Partner Driven was interested in the Wall Canyon Ct deal in Sun Valley, NV, due to its high profit potential.

@Steven Ong: The reading I've done recently says that Australia is at the high end of the cycle.

Study names Columbus as the fastest growing city in the U.S.I'm kicking myself for not taking the plunge two years ago, back then I thought 4.5% was high!

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+, zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680, some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

There is a high demand for rentals in all of Columbus.

The returns initially are poor.  

Do your owners really know what their return is?

I used to have a 6/2 on Ohio State university campus north of downtown columbus and I got 1600 a weekend and netted 2500 a month probably. a lot of days were vacant but we did really well all the time for huge groups which is a nice I still recommend and there's not a lot. we just sold a new build for a medium term rental in newark close to intel. there's demand for high quality, well furnished places.
