I don't currently have any investment properties, but will likely work with a turn-key property managment in the Memphis/Little Rock area.My goal is to build a good cash-flow portfolio to ease into retirement. 

Second- these developments where the same person develops, builds, and then requires you to use them for management- they always suck.

Meaning, if you take the money only, you would have depreciation recapture from your cost basis up to the original purchase price of the building (not including the land cost because it wasn't depreciable), plus a capital gain up to the insurance proceeds.Hope this makes sense. 

I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

I’m looking for small multi-family homes in the $150k-$250k range, focusing on property appreciation with minimal cash flow to build reserves.I’ve been considering areas like Fishtown, Somerton, Roxborough, Haverford, Conshohocken, West Norriton, Upper Darby, Lansdale, and Abington.

The more deals you’re part of, the more you learn about:✅ Structuring deals✅ Managing risk✅ Negotiating with partners✅ Handling financingTaking part of a good deal helps you build real-world experience that will pay off big in the future when you do bigger and better deals.3.

.✅ Reduces Stress & Burnout – Investing should be about building wealth AND freedom.

If you can buy a house with a small cash flow and there is room to build a duplex on the back of the lot, then you get free dirt. 

I have from time to time spoken with the city administrator, economic developer, & a person at building planning commission.

But then you have the benefits of using it yourself, plus you'll build equity if you choose the right property.
