When done right, apartments can produce passive income for generations and mind boggling returns, without the risks of other investments. 2) Buying Too Small - Anything under 16 units will not produce enough free cash flow to warrant doing the deal. 2 units, 4 units, 6 units, and 8 units are not enough scale to make sense of the deal, unless you are buying to merely flip the property, but now you are speculating not investing.3) Single-Family Home Rentals - This is an issue because you are dependent upon one tenant.

This is merely so you can tell the tenants that you tried to help them.

Netting a mere $50 a month after all expenses (including property management and putting 15% aside to cover CapEx, Vacancy and Repairs in future).

Even a GFCI outlet does not provide a ground if one is required, it merely adds a safety factor.

Call it 15% interest only, 2 points, no early payoff penalty (obviously you pay this off ASAP), on the 25% down, but what YOU get out of it is the other 75% at the Fannie Mae interest rate/fees, oh and you personally didn't have to wait to save up another down payment, you get to move on that deal TODAY...In terms of security for your friend, note that the lent money was secured by the investor's primary residence where his personal family and children live, the center of his life, not a mere rental property that they might be willing to walk away from if it doesn't work out.

The $215,000 is merely an estimate, assuming a sale price of $400,000 and 8% in fees.

You should always have a second person in your LLC unless it is merely for branding purposes. 

We've taken down 52 pads, 3 parks using merely $225,000 in the past a few months on seller financing.

HI @Riley Ricobene I would like to summarize my experience taking the required courses while pursuing me RE License (in California)I took one summer course at a Community College in California (Principles of Real Estate), which was a great experience.

So, in your case, if you merely want to vet someone to be considered as part of your future team, then go for it.
