I'd like to transition my money and focus from my business into real estate, but I want to make sure that I am educated and capable enough to generate cash flow in this industry before selling my business.

Hotpads is a great website for generating leads.

Thanks for sharing the details though :) Mine are more younger adult generation tenants.

Is this worth it from the transaction standpoint when i do generate deals and make a little side money with friends and family and 2. would it make sense as an investor buying 2-5 + doors a year?

That's not great income generator for long term.

A Solo 401(k) may be exempted if the deal is structured properly.A fund that derives its income from the development and/or re-development and sale of property would be producing trade or business income that would generate UBIT liability to both IRA and 401(k) investors, and if leverage is involved, a double-whammy with UDFI as well for the IRA investor.

I'm looking at a 6 flat which generates about $216 per door after I plugged in all the numbers into the BP Rental Calculator .    

Are these properties that you have obtained the lien/deed & have taken possession or are you just trying to generate income from leads?

@Rolanda Eldridge Magnets are ok but if you want to maximize exposure and lead generation you need to wrap the entire vehicle.
