Lastly, price point is still super cheap - you can find deals for under $200k!

Reason for this is that our 40% partner who leads the group purchasing the property accepted a SUBORDINATED note for his interest in order to put the deal together.Bottom line is this, by utilizing a number of CREATIVE real estate principles, financing, deal making, etc. we have increased our wealth by anywhere from $235,000 to $635,000 over what we would have had accepting a cash sale.  

I'd look at land value and land development to capture substantial upside, I'd look at 50+ unit deals for entitlement, I'd self perform land acquisition and land development in a midwest market like columbus that allows for substantial gain and represents a more stable long term growth, but when you break down the industry new construction is very stable you are already doing that by just working in new construction. you'd essentially be the developer on a larger deal you could do that in one deal. lol 

As we grow older, it will be a topic we will be dealing with more and more.Thanks for sharing!

@Nick Sansivero I have an excellent PM with affordable rates and a great track record shoot me a DM if youre still in search of a PM 

It all depends on what sort of deal you are thinking.  

I always think 3-5 % is the annual appreciation to go when I analyze deals.

The deal I chose was somewhat at random, but also looking at price points and neighborhood ratings I thought would be good for a first investment.Below is my attempt to break down this deal. 

Also, connect with other like-minded people in your community and attend as many in person meetings at your local REIA groups to network and connect + find out about off market deals and get on local wholesalers "buyers lists".Best of luck!

This would be an excellent question for them, especially specific to your portfolio and situation as it depends if your property is passive or non-passive.
