The “when” will be driven by the purpose of the appraisal.

Stop focusing on dollars a month in cash flow, and start worrying about how much below market you are buying the property at and what your cash on cash return will be (as a %). I

Thanks Reg A is rarely used. 

I am afraid to make mistakes, to be honest. re: @Pat G.I think I am going to take @Omar Khan's advice and start a thought leadership platform on data driven investing in multifamily.

I am driven by success with my first property on Harrison Ave in Cincinnati Ohio.

I don't see the returns to be much more than the going cap rate as these cities are more appreciation driven than cash flow. 

I'm mostly spitballing with that idea for the groups, and I think they could easily be free, and community driven - X amount of posts, Y amount of Votes, Z amount of investments (Dollars + # of deals).

@Scott Ai Perhaps waiting until you save up more would make more sense to get a higher quality asset on Oahu.

In Texas with you being new, an eviction service will run about $1000 and an Attorney driven about $1500.
