Personally, this market also strikes the balance of being somewhat close to home, while remaining far enough to force me into building scalable relationships and business processes.What I can offer: I am continuing to learn about real estate and am several months away from the capital necessary to finance my first deal.

Purchase price: $112,000 Cash invested: $7,000 Sale price: $150,000 The education I've gained from my first (personal) house:-House hack (several roommates)-Live-in-flip (floors, carpet, kitchen, yard, bathroom, paint, demo, mechanicals)-Refinance (75% of a greatly appreciated property through both forced and community appreciation)-Property Management (Practiced methodologies learned through the podcasts and books to find and place tenant)-Rental (Used BP forms - Application, Lease, Amendment, and Move-in Checklist; used BP calculator to figure my numbers) What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

There has been a task force working on this for the last year or so and this is what they came up with.

Tries to force himself past the guard that works for my friend's company. 

I was born in Ukraine, but immigrated to the US with my family at the age of 5.

My wife and I were forced to rent out my old house when we found an amazing property in the farm lands outside of Belton, Missouri that we couldn't pass up.

If you're planning on selling in a few years for more than you bought it for then you'll need a forced appreciation strategy.I shoot for 1% rule or better on a high-end property, and would go 1.3% rule minimum on lower-end, older, or multifamily.

Hi all,I hear a lot about forcing appreciation on multi family deals by rehabbing and raising rent.

@Jay Hinrichs Good point I thought that too but owning that other property outright can make the BK tricky as I think the trustee could force her to sell it.

@Alex Corral They are forcing me to have both...it's company policy they say.
