I will not have to avoid many areas but a few based on crime.

Here are the numbers (rounded up):- Original purchase price ~ $180K- Current value ~$230K- Remaining balance ~ $140K- Mortgage payment + HOA ~ $1,300- Current rent = $1,700To calculate ROI at the current time should I base it on the initial investment amount (downpayment) or the current equity position?

Does communication matter most?

I knew guys at Ft Benning who tried to run ads in the base newspaper.

I thought I was going to own a few dozen single family properties before moving on to multi but after 3 I bought a 14 unit and have never looked back going bigger and bigger on every deal. if im not mistaken everything is already baked into that 775k except closing costs. and construction should take 6months tops. land is included (1acre) but if i had my own land builder said they'd take 65k off the price so 710k. yeah im just thinking whats best way to move forward. my first deal doesnt need to be perfect just want to build a nice base to build from

Consulting with a local real estate advisor or financial planner can provide personalized insights based on your specific situation. 

In the past I have primarily bought commercial builders.

We can see the BEST investment property available today based on math and analytics, and export that information to investors looking for it.

Even in an area like Lynn (North Shore) the margin between gross monthly income and all expenses based on an $800k property would net us approx $-2500/mo.

This will vary based on the owners specific situation and tax regulations in your area.
