More than anything else, your goals and objectives should guide the investments you consider, rather than the other way around.

My mentor made me identify the problem, vision, mission,  and principles to bring more structure to my business.Here is what I wrote.PROBLEM:With most owners expecting to sell their properties at market or above market it is difficult for busy professionals to find stable real estate investments that will bring at least a 7% CoC ROI without investing a lot of time and resources in lead generation VISION:To give busy professionals an opportunity to own solid income producing property opportunities without them being required to do the hard of studying real estate, building a team, nurturing industry connections, etc.

@Ming Wan I agree with what he said as far as pride and principle.

Second of all, the objective is to put properties under contract at prices that will be attractive to investors.

@Joshua McMillionHey Joshua, negative, but still would not object to a get together or dinner at Texas Roadhouse/Chili’s one night!

When you compound your equity, then the appreciation....the tax shelter......the principle pay down... all compound as well.

I highly recommend you take from OREA  Principles of AppraisalAbsolutely a must for real estate selling and investingIn regards to dedicating your time..

However, because Denver is so tight, do expect to put in at least $10K in light touch ups in order make attractive offers to sellers (ie fast closing, limited inspection objections).

What are your objectives for investing in MF?

Thanks for any input and insight, Jay. when you become an agent you MUST work for a broker for the first 2 to 3 years depending on the state.. then you can sit for your brokers license.. now in Oregon we are all brokers there are no agents.. what you have then is you must as a new broker work for a PRINCIPLE BROKER.. then after your apprentice you can sit for your principle brokers exam..
