As two veterans just starting out in real estate rental investing, our goal is to share our unique perspective and the key lessons we're learning along the way. 

They source deals, project manage the rehab and do property management as well.

My husband and I are actually in escrow on a duplex in Tulsa, Oklahoma right now- but that's my husband's project haha.

Then refinance once the project is complete.

If cleaning fees are included in the gross revenue projections, but it is a pass through expense, would that affect your actual returns if you mistakenly calculated your ROI on gross numbers that technically included pass through expenses like cleaning fee?

Goal: Build a passive income from rentals that will allow my husband, my daughter, and myself to live on mission for Jesus Christ.

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.

An AWESOME project just finished in Columbus, OH.

It still wouldn't be enough profit to do this full time without another job.I see lots of people online who have quit their full time job and are doing Real Estate Investing only, buying new cars, being able to travel and I am wondering if this is just their "online persona", it is because of the amount of properties they have that has given them this financial/work free freedom or I need to find somewhere else that would give me a larger return.Either way I am still moving forward on my journey :) I was just curious because that would be my dream goal to not have a 9-5 and my investments give me that freedom.

Figure out the goal your trying to achieve, pick a market, and start buying deals.
