If you like to cash flow $100/door on a small property don't compromise when evaluating a larger one and cash flow $50/door due to volume.

There do seem to be volume discounts on PM fees (e.g. 1% discount after 5 properties under management), and the PM side of the turnkey operator is eager to keep clients happy to encourage more property purchases.

I can't figure out how to paste in a picture, but I have a diagram that I think shows the RE cycle pretty well.Phase 1 - Volume Up, Price Up - H2'08 though 2009Phase 2 - Volume Flat, Price Up - 2010 through 2012Phase 3 - Volume Down, Price Up - 2013 through 2014Phase 4 - Volume Down, Price Flat - 2015 through ???

If you want to make 50k or 200k you can half or double the volume.

It's located in a neighborhood that sells the most volume of homes within this city, so here's to luck on appreciation! 

NOw that's gross cutting cost timber tax and replant are about 30 to 35% of gross.Up in your area I am thinking its a lot of hardwoods so as you say it takes quite a bit more acreage to create volume and net yield. 

The only caveat I see here is that the volume must justify the numbers for a long distance investor since managament fees have to be accounted for.......just my thoughts

So, you need volume and consistency to reach them.It's all about volume, follow up and striking when the iron is hot.

I think we are just coming back into a balanced market.. this is the new normal and the previous normal.. those that jumped in 09 ish to 2012  were bottom feeding and had once in a lifetime opportunities  or at least once in an investing career opps.increase volume is one way to keep up the bottom line if you can do that.widen your target market. 

It is another if you plan on doing volume.
