A couple years ago however I have returned to Oklahoma at her capital.Now, real estate wasn’t on my radar until recently when I ran into BiggerPockets and it stuck.

I put cap ex at 1000 per door a year ball parking it so 160 a month I am not including the studio in these evaluations because I will live theremaitnance as 85 a monthvacancy of 160 a monthSo over all looks like this so far.40k downprice 158500rents 1700 monthtax and insurance 560monthcap ex 170 monthmaitnance 85 monthvacancy 160 monthall together 975 a monthsubtract that from both units rentAnd there is 725 left over enough to cover the principle and interest and leave like 100 bucks left over for my utility's and such.current owner says the coin laundry downstairs covers the water and tenants take care of there electric and suchNow just 100 left over isn't much only 1200 a year not a very good return on 40k but when I move out and instal a fire escape in the studio as I live there I can rent that for another 550. after I adjusted the numbers for the studio this deal looks really good because I am able to keep pretty much everything the studio would produce.I'd get like 6k a year and get a 25 percent cash on cash which sounds as delicious as it can get.It is in a working c class class area. on the worse side of it. that's were most of the duplexes in the area are to be honest.

.$400/mo on a 50k investment is a 9.6% return.

Cash as a verb, in motion, brings in a compounded return. 

We will be raising capital, offering 8-12% returns to investors, but we first need a track record, so we chose to find deals and finance them via Seller Financing, combined with Hard MoneyProblem is, no one wants to be in 2nd position for a mortgage, and all lenders ask for cash of our own up front (several hundred thousands, which we of course, do not have)Any suggestions?

This property doesn't seem like it is viable for buy and hold because of the expenses are 120% of Income, which is why the cash flow is negative $937/mo and cash on cash return s -14%.

Put your money in Ally or something where the return isn't 0.

I have also served in the Army Reserves for approximately 10 years (I am currently still in (IRR) and will be reenlisting once I return) so, if anyone is familiar with using the VA Loan or just would like to chat about military life...let's connect! 

You are allowed to charge a reasonable fee to maintain the account, and with interest rates on savings accounts being so low, tenants aren't really expecting any return on their depositI've been a Manhattan-based RE broker for the last 5 years specializing in luxury and new construction condos.

Recently sold a property and a business which returned some decent $$.
