Maybe at future events we would bring someone in that all the group sees as valuable, where specific questions could be asked by members of the group.I see it more as a roundtable where people discuss what is working for them, where everyone can ask questions of each other and present their challenges where the group shares their solutions in similar situations, or where they brainstorm ideas/solutions to achieve their goals.

I used 65% rather than 70% since a flipper needs to ensure a minimum profit ($13-15k), which is tougher to achieve on cheaper houses, and to help cover the risk when you have a lot of rehab in relation to the sales price, as you do in this case.Is this in the Cincinnati/N.

Payment seasoning is not a requirement to achieve loan price requirements.

Hi Maura,Welcome to BP...Put thoughts into small actionable steps and your goals will start to be achieved one by one.

only you can figure that out for yourself.So, I'd say there are 5 ways:leveragetax advantages 'buying at the right price based on skilled, sound analysis'rehabbing/identifying 'best use'deal-making(wholesaling, bird dogging, note buying/selling)Some of these can be achieved passively:leverage + tax advantagesBut even those require the work up front to at least identify, analyze and purchase - and set up managementAnd of course: being your own PM, rehabbing project management(or hammer swinging), and all the deal-making options take constant investment of time.Deal-making is a non-starter for me, I can trade hours for dollars at a high rate in my regular business.Buying at the right price is not a skill I believe I have, I could learn it, and I read here a lot, but I am consistently surprised by how many things the experienced people on here point out that I would have missed or have never thought of.So that leaves me seeking leverage and tax advantages but frozen from buying due to my fear of becoming a 'learning example for ohters' by overpaying.So, like you, I suspect, I focus my efforts on my 'other business' and I keep my capital in the stock market.

Similarly each unit key can open the common external door when present.Lay out what you want to achieve - now and as you grow - in a spreadsheet or document and pay a visit to a locksmith to help you fill in the details and to rekey your buildings.  

Lots of luck in achieving your goals, I'm sure we'll see you around the forums a lot!

If your properties are generating 10% cash-on-cash returns, then you should expect to have invested about $192,000 to achieve that level of cash flow (10% of $192,000 is $19,200).

My Goal is to buy 5 properties and have them paid off in 30 years (Very mediocre but easily achievable for me).

Well, it is usually not the Seller, who has a minimal number in order to sell and it is not the Buyer who has a maximum number in order to achieve return.
