I've got: 1 Dutch Door (which I count as 2 because the top and bottom operate independently)1 French Door (which I also count as 2 because it's a double-door)1 Saloon Door (which obviously counts as 2)1 Barn Door (which is always open but still counts)1 Revolving Door (this is going nowhere fast)1 Sliding Door (which counts as 1-4 depending on your income)1 Pocket Door (Not sure how I should count it, I can't get a handle on it)and 1 Door that isn't a door when it's ajar. 

I am from NY and I know how expensive it is to get a bite out of the big apple but it is possible.If you would like to jump on a call with me for 30 minutes and ask me anything pertaining to real estate I charge 100 for half an hour.

I DID do apples too Apples, SFR vs SFR.   

Because while each serves food for profit, each is wildly different business from the next, they are not comparing apples too apples.     

If you don’t watch BusinessIt will be goneIt’s like all these young people chasing their passionI may love orangesBut move to apples if it’s what market demandsNice meeting you

Yet, I love seeing Netflix up over 1400% when I sold, or my Apple shares up over 1200% and I'm still holding.

What about buying Apple in '98 at approximately $6 a share?  

Heck  you could just toss in the apple and chips and baby carrots into the one bag while you're at it. . 4x that hack. 

I'm not trying to argue for that one is better than the other, since I view them as two different things, just that I dont think its fair to compare them as apples to apples. 

If only I could get a dollar $ for every time an investor asked me that question.You see guys, it's quite simple.Since our price points are super low (Only $60,000 - $80,000).Most of our investors have more then enough cash to purchase quite a few homes fairly quickly.Thus, we don't have a need to wait for 6-8 weeks to hopefully get the deal across the line via financing.To be honest, we also hate working with lenders and appraisers.Most of them drag their feet and appraisers are super conservative these days due to the Fannie Mae guidelines that were introduced after the fiasco of the Global Financial Crisis.So they are known to intentionally use foreclosed comparable sales to under-appraise properties just to protect their own A$$.This isn't genuine and I've always believed that if you can't fix something or make it better.You need to eliminate it.That's why we have eliminated all financing when buying through our company.I'm sorry.Now, for all of you thinking that you are getting a turnkey property as a "safer" investment for "fair value" just because the turnkey provider offers financing.Think again.After being in real estate for 10+ years and buying/selling over 500 properties world wide.I have seen all of the dirty tricks.An easy one is to influence the appraiser by smudging their eyes with supposed work performed on a house that never really was.Like a "converted attic", "newly installed HVAC", or a "rehabbed garage", etc...Most are too lazy to check these items and will just mark them on the sheet as "done".All of these items would unjustifiably increase a properties value in the thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.At the end of the day, there are always going to be bad apples no matter what.Your job is to find the good ones.No matter how you decide to invest (With cash or financing).Find the right team and you will do well.Find the wrong one and it will end in disaster.I wish you all much success and thanks for reading.ps.
