aha, no offense taken:)Your investments sounds good; however, it is still a small investment and very labor intensive imhoThe thing is that whatever money you invest, the work load and hassles remain pretty much the same if you invest 200k in 10 units or 20m in 50 units in a larger city, so i'd rather syndicate, raise money, leverage and do larger deals with smaller cap rates than micro managing a portfolio of 100 small investments; just another strategyBut if after vacancies, taxes, management etc, you still get 15%, that's great for youWhat do you think about Detroit btw?

Here are a few details:Property value: 91,000 (assessed, not appraisedCurrent loan pay off: 60,000Years remaining on note: 15Current interest rate: 8.5%Current loan payments :$650/monthCurrent credit score: ~650 (probably my biggest issue)There are a couple of options that I'm looking into. 1.) refinance the home for $15,000 above payoff and use the cash as investment capital in a deal (probably my least favorite option)2.) refinance the home for the current payoff at a lower interest rate (same 15 years) so that I could save the difference in the mortgage and invest that.

This made it so before we inked a deal, all three of us would determine our role on the property, come up with split of remaining 65 percent, and then write it in our agreement for that property.
