I expect solid returns similar to that of HML (about 16-18% annualized).

I would recommend taking the time to formulate a solid business plan and list of goals you want to accomplish in both the short-term and long-term.

Solid plan with getting interested in multi-units. 

I got one  solid lead on one the house and if all goes we we will close next week.

Selling the house will enable you to have a substantial amount of reserves as a sort of solid footing to finance the vacancies for deals just like this one (no job required).Selling with the lease-option or selling outright seems to be the way to go.          

It might be a land play if it's in a solid location.  

We need to tear out the awful carpet, but are debating real hardwood versus a wood-looking LVT (luxury vinyl tile).

With your skills and experience, I'm betting you will make solid investments.

Empty units simply give me the opportunity to renovate and raise rents. 3) Appreciation always follows NOI, so if you can establish a solid record of $8,000/month NOI that translates into a stabilized value of $1,200,00 at an 8 Cap, which is going rate for stabilized class C properties.

I would hope to hear from the ones that are interested in growing our business together.Again, any and all feedback is very much appreciated and I look forward to forging solid business partnerships.Best regards,Eric
