It can be tough,  after management fees of up to 40% and profits taxed as ordinary income,  to earn your desired return in the short, sunny window we get.I love your thinking about this.

I took up the treasury position out of frustration with a lot of things and I'm preparing myself to deliver some really tough love to other units.

So I am doing a flip in Laurelton, Queens and had issues from a general contractor doing shoddy work, and a plumber disappearing with uncompleted work and stealing from us (plumbing materials put on our account, not called for at this house, as well as a missing boiler from the house).

No cost, no pitching of seminars or educational materials, mostly networking with some answers to your questions just like here on BP but live and in person.

Hi Elias,You would need to run an analysis of your market to determine what is possible.For example if all you can buy is sellers wanting a 5 cap in your market with older buildings that those are tough deals to make work.Instead if the pent up renter demand is there and you have a city or county that is pro-growth with planning and zoning than chances are good a new build might work.

I have listened to a couple of their videos and read some of their materials on line.

i did read a lot of real estate books i got them from the library. a great on is written by Russ Whitney his material is pretty good. i was too broke to afford to go to some seminar. 

@Drew PurvisIt seems like a lot of your renovation costs are materials only (like the painting). 

Subject-to balance 141k, interest 4.625%, 30 years fixed, originated in 2013.Thoughts or suggestions for learning materials?
