Sorry mixed up your numbers your equity is 160K making your numbers actually worse.

We live in south city and our neighborhood is a mix of 1/1, 2/1, and 3/1.

Everyone has their own beliefs and values.Mine is if you can't afford to tip then you shouldn't go out to eat and should eat at home.I am not talking about children but adults.If someone is giving service it should be paid for.On the question of tenant mix unfortunately on my listings I get it more often than I would like to.When I ask why the investor says because of their experience of owning multiple properties over years and years they have learned certain things.I just tell them I can't comment on such matters because of fair housing laws and that gets me out of a uncomfortable situation.Sometimes on these deals my job is to close it and move on never to see a certain party again.At the end of the day the business isn't all roses.The investor will say if it's too much of this mix you will be dealing with this problem and too much of this this problem.I will say I do notice trends.For instance in eviction court when we had to go multiple times over 3 weeks to evict about 95% literally of all cases the tenant was XX but there were tons of other classes renting in the area.So all I am saying is that is an observable trend for the area and a fact that is present.I also know it doesn't include people who do workouts before the court date or leave on their own accord.

Part time is a dying breed unless it is mixed in with other forms of RE investing.There is a incredibly high percentage of buyers and sellers who know absolutely nothing about the real estate process.

I don't remember the exact details, but there was some mix up regarding the monthly payment.

In how wide of a radius ring are sales at a constant for unit mix and build??

I've been reading about all the reactions to the new Facebook updates launched in the past day or so and they have been mixed.

If so, Steve, I agree 100% that a mixed strategy would make the most sense.

There are some performing and some non performing mixed residential / commercial notes.

Alyn I would look at the annual rent growth trend for the unit mix of your apartments for the location.As I said earlier if supply is low and demand is high you can increase the rents by a bunch and accelerate the CAP.If you are real busy with your job and want turn key then yes you will usually get a smaller CAP for that luxury.As you said for your goals the bigger return isn't as important.At the end of the day it's your life and your investment and money so it's your call.I have some investors that want an 8 cap,some a 12 cap,and some a 16 cap going in.I tell them fine if you want a property needing major work in a war zone.There is nothing in my area in a good location trading at more than a 10 cap period that is in good shape.The reason is other new investors are giddy with a 10% return versus a treasury or CD giving them 1 to 2 % if they are lucky or their stocks are tanking hard.It's just all relative to your investing style as to what will make sense.
