I don't have enough extra capital to invest seriously in all three, so I'd prefer to focus my time/money.So, while I feel confident in my next business idea, I also know that about 2/3 of the businesses I've created over the years have failed to turn a significant profit, so real estate seems like a better way to diversify.Here's the problem: From everything I'm reading, it seems like the cashflow from rental properties is relatively low on average (e.g. $200/month/unit seems to be a common example).

I think I’m panicking because I currently have 12 single family units that net an average of 6800 (30 year loans on most) a year, and also only cost me an average price of 45k each(they are all worth close to triple now, I got in at a crazy time and renovated all of them.)But each unit on this purchase only nets 3200 a year(the Loan is for 15 years, not 30 so payments are much higher).

Here's some additional information on how I did the calculations in the report, as well as some insight into my current situation.Average Rent: Did an initial search on Rentometer for average rent in this area (calculating based on $725; 3 bedrooms).Expenses: I am using the 50% rule to calculate my expenses which is why I have left the "Fixed Landlord-Paid Expenses" empty.

And of course so many terms can change the rate but for a regular 30 year fixed Id say to find a lender lending between 4-5 is going to be your best bet, but somewhat average at that.
