@Pedro C.It depends on the value of the property but for the typical basic property it’d be something like say $2,000 set-up fee and say $550 yearly maintenance fee.

In October of last year I moved out of my home of 15 years in Austin and converted it into a rental property.I originally paid $143k for the home, it's worth roughly $368k today. 

We saw a 12% increase in 1 year.

There are plenty of centuries old houses on the east coast that have been upgraded and properly maintained over the years.

Syndications won’t work there.You’d need private investors with a huge risk appetite but even someone like me who’s invested internationally for years wouldn’t touch that country with a 10-foot pole.

These were taught to me 40 or more years ago by Jimmy Napier and John Beck.

Question for the masses: is it worth it or beneficial to obtain a real estate license while investing?

"Don't buy old houses that are money pits, stick with stuff that's less than 40 years old."

@Brian GerweWe have financed about 25 properties in the past 5-7 years.  

My parents who invest, say they never do deals with more than 15 year amortization.
