That's just pure economics.

most syndicators you need to be accredited and from what you described your not quite there yet.partnering with a VERY good GC on some flips can make you some decent money although high risk.. need to be very careful there.. but many ways to make money.. at your stage and income to get to 10k a month passive on purely positive cash flow rentals is going to take a few decades.

This was my first purely investment property and there were some hard lessons learned, but despite the challenges, this property has provided me consistent cash flow.

This will be purely for rent and not own occupied as we want to live in Shaker.

And purely based on the numbers (not accounting for political risks), I’m not seeing huge gains there. - interest rates are significantly higher and harder to achieve.

income compared to priceNegative cash flowLarge equity position is at riskIf I was looking for a pure rental / cash flow property so that I could quit my job today then at this point I would just move on and look for another property.

Shelby,it is your property,pure and simple.Are they month to month?

Purely networking.

For a more pure IRR calc, you'd need to take the 2008 purchase at $1.75, add another $20k invested to remodel a bathroom in 2013, add another $750k investment in 2016 and then the sale at $3.9M in late 2020. 

This is pure harassment by the city of Chicago but it true.
