I grew up in San Antonio, and we close a fair amount of loans on apartment complexes down there.

Crosschecking with Zillow I found this to be fairly accurate (I was seeing rents between $1,400 and $1,800.)Assuming I were to invest in this property, I would rent it out for $1,690.

.#3 is fairly passive if you have a good turnkey company, good location and a good PM.Of course #4 is all you although you could partner up with someone else.So it comes down to your goals, the level of passive vs active investor that you want to be, your resources(Time , Money, Experience).Your choices will depend on your goals. 

I work full time and make a fairly decent wage, recently obtained my real estate sales agent license, and just started my own company doing what I do for a living on the side (electrical contractor).  

Hello all,I am fairly new to real estate investing and am very interesting in learning as much as I can.

I get paid fairly well, $90,000+ annual salary but I'm just exhausted with the hours, nights, weekends and holidays and stress from daily operations. 

It's best to negotiate directly with a seller, because the solution of an owner financed transaction requires a fair amount of motivation, and you wouldn't be able to offer a solution to the seller if you can't talk to them directly about how your solution will solve their problems.

@John Arendsen, if I understand your posting, you're looking to invest in crowdfunding sites, but not as a typical investor but as someone who sits on the board.There are about 20 sites that I would consider to be investment quality, and the remaining 80+ are fairly poor for one reason or another (in sufficient volume, none of experience, poor investor protection, etc.). 

Hello bigger pockets community,  I am a new investor in the atlanta, Georgia  area and was wondering if any one had any recommendations for a fair price, quility work contractor in my area I can use for an upcoming project.

I'm not super familiar with how the VA/lender will consider your rental income, but I'm fairly positive it is able to be considered as income for qualification purposes, but there may be an asterisk there.
