Hey there, I’m a new investor currently collecting info on various properties in the local area and wanted to get y’alls thoughts...If one is just starting out investing with the following goals:-$5k/month cash flow within 5 years-multi-fams / single family / apartment buildings I have a combination of accumulated personal savings and over $200k available in the form of a HELOC (debt free home)What are your thoughts on buying a few multi-fams/single fams vs buying the biggest apartment building I could afford?

Hello Brent,Before we can give you sound advice on your situation we would need to know what your goals are.

Our goal for the year 2018, is to purchase 5 units in the Philadelphia for Buy & Hold investment.Thank you.

Our goal in offering stock to our customers was to allow those with the risk appetite to profit from our eventual success as a company should we our goals, in addition to the loans we offer for investment.

I have come up with 3 options so far, but option 1 does not meet my minimum monthly goal of $100 a door, but the two other options are closer.

Mortgage bankers will consult you based on your overall long term financial goals.

I'm looking for a 3/2 with 1-2 car garage, simple home, the 1% rule is somewhat close to my goals as for flow that I'm aiming for.  

If you want safer investments, you give up a greater potential reward.Betting on appreciation in the future is a lot riskier than analyzing current cash flow and making an investment based on that, but it could end up with a much greater return as your family friend noticed.It all comes down to what is your risk tolerance, and what are your goals.

With the BRRRR strategy the primary goal is to be able to refinance out of the acquisition financing and pull all my cash investment out.  

If this is your goal, read on.Usually when people say "wholesale" they mean assigning contracts.
