I have mixed reactions from subs/suppliers though, they need to do the double entry.

Further, the majority of the capital demands will still be present in comparison to your entry into the asset.

For suburban entry points there are a lot of options but if it were me I'd look for something in less expensive parts of Ferndale, Madison Heights, or parts of Hazel Park, assuming you're going to be living there.

I am guessing the barrier of entry is lower in Seattle & better cash flow, but not sure about the potential for appreciation.

@Mike Baker Some of the older systems are not very user friendly and even some of the MLS boards keep their data closely guarded.

Sell the lease to them on that basis.Tell them they are under market rate for rent and share some data with them.

Each has varying barriers to entry to get started.

What would be a good entry-level position that would get me into an operation or work that I can learn a lot from?

PS I use Real Data Software to analyze my deals, so I indeed have a breakdown per unit.

Even the data display on my website is bad.Please develop something that is user friendly and more up to date....you might get rich :)
