I have 10 properties in the Portsmouth Virginia area and as of right now I am trying to sell those properties and they’re worthless as far as recouping any of the money that I put into the purchase  I have claims at the moment with the FTC in the SEC also have a claim with sender I filled out an affidavit and waiting for them to return with the information  I have to say Preston and his crew really did a bad job on me for I invested my retirement money in these places and I have no chance of recouping any percentage of my investment  I would like to sue these people if it’s all possible I just don’t know how to get started and go about finding a lawyer that would handle the shoot process If anyone out there has any idea as to how I can go about doing this please let me know through this through a post if you would please

Faced with mounting expenses, extended timelines, and diminishing returns, we ultimately decided to sell the property instead of continuing with the BRRRR strategy.The Insurance Mistake:The biggest lesson I learned was that I had the wrong type of insurance.

I can't imagine being in a partnership with someone that brings nothing to the table but expects the same return as you do.

Evaluate how many would EVER tell you 300k is the typical return.

$77,000 earnings on a $190,000 investment is unheard of in real estate, but quite normal for a well running business.New RE investors are always after cash flow and CoC return.

Over the past 6 months, I've seen a "SIGNIFICANT" increase in ROI and REALLY BIG equity gains in the areas I serve and buy, due to the epic buyer's market we are in. I'd like to know where the other really big markets...

Return on Investment (ROI):A good ROI on a fix-and-flip can vary by market, but a typical target is around 10-15% of the ARV after all costs (purchase price, repairs, carrying costs, and selling expenses).

They usually are high on estimated ARV and low on estimated upgrade costs.San Diego RE investing returns come from: appreciation, value adds, equity paydown.Value adds:Rehab: Standard BRRRRADU: have become popular in last 2 years due to changing CA ADU regulations. 

Real estate's "gross rent multiplier" is Wall Street's "sales to revenue",  "cap rate" is roughly "P/E ratio".When evaluating markets and investments I tend to start with GRM (or lazily the 1% rule), then attempt to return a cap rate based on assumptions about costs, then I work my way to multiple years of projections (assumptions about inflation, amortization, tax benefits, etc), and if I am partnering with one of my smart friends I have to pull up an IRR (internal rate of return).I also look at regional employment levels, median income to rent ratio in the zip code etc. 

Perhaps in return they collect an acquisition fee,  collect a construction management fee & share in a portion of the upside.
