Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Long-term rental property with high appreciation potential.

And you are contradicting yourself a bit here.You aren't willing to buy the house you want because you believe prices are inflated and rates are too high.

This might be a little weird but I came across the post because I'm looking for information about REIReply.REIReply is a real estate marketing system built on Go High Level's white-label plan.And I use and love GHL because it's more than just a CRM BUT it's not specifically built for real estate investors.That's where a company like REIReply might come in.You see, several digital marketing companies use GHL to run their businesses and many of them, my company included, have developed powerful follow-up systems.However, the problem is that GHL is only as good as the templates, campaigns, etc that are built within the system.While I have almost 20 years of digital marketing experience and can build effective and powerful campaigns for me and my clients, I don't have nearly as much experience in real estate.Ergo, I'm considering REIReply.If they are as good with real estate marketing as I am with my company's marketing, they have a killer deal.

On the other hand, a 25% cut is too high, considering what she does is what a broker should do; she doesn't provide me with any leads.

At least with the S&P the dead companies fall off but overall RE keeps the underperforming in the mix.If one is high income then just throwing cash at the stock market over the long haul a nice way to go.

@Henry Lazerow I'd budget mid to high 7s for 75% cash out on a 4plex for the foreseeable future (remainder of the year)  My answer is in regards to DSCR loans only. 

That land is directly in the path of growth with many local farmers in the area selling their land to developers putting in high density housing. 

Also, with 5-6 bedroom homes you have a greater opportunity to make it stand out with the theming, as many of the HIGHLY themed homes are  8, 9, BR and larger homes.The key to making the home unique is theming, but not just any theming.

You'll pay high interest, which offsets the interest you earn on a new investment.
