Numbers don't really work for anything thats been hitting the MLS.One popped up on.the same street as my duplex in 78745 this week.

@shiloh lundahl hope this works - your name did not pop up when I typed "@"From your description, it sounds like I am an average investor since building equity has been my primary goal this age.

As you move from national, to regional, to mom and pop local tenants then the intensity of management and risk to the cash flow stream can change.You mention a Whole foods strip mall deal.

I use that as my reserve funds and for funding in case a deal pops up that I want to jump on. 

I doubt BP will want me to publish emails and phone numbers, so google the Assemblyperson's name and their contact info should pop up.Members of the New York State Assembly Membership of the Assembly represented by an equal-area projection since the 2018 electionDistrictMemberPartyFirst electedCounties1Fred ThieleInd1995+Suffolk2Jodi GiglioRep2020Suffolk3Joe DeStefanoRep2018Suffolk4Steve EnglebrightDem1992+Suffolk5Douglas M.

To give some numbers, it's very difficult to find solid cash flow in my market (HCOL), and this project seems interesting because it pops the equity and also turns the property to a healthy cash flow. 

Private Mom and Pop investors provide a large percentage of single family rentals.   

If you're asking because a "chalet" just popped up and you're unsure that's what you want but you think it's kinda cute then just wait a week for the right cabin and be ready to be extremely aggressive with your offer in this market.

If I am a mom and pop owner, that will seem really confusing to me.

Then, you have three more floors at $120K a pop or so (holding costs $3400/month, 8 to 10 months construction, engineering, architect, interior designer costs, new water service/sewer at $30K) That is if you delegate everything.
