The goal statements themselves are quite detailed but I will spare you the details and just give you the high level summary: Our 5 year goal is to have a combined Real Estate net worth of $1.5M+ through B&H multi-family residential and commercial investments.

If you combine your income with your mother's income would that make obtaining a duplex or triplex or a quad more doable?

Both of these properties were done with a combination of private money and commercial notes, not hard money.  

Let me know your input on some good styles & combinations to go with the dark green. 

We could help each other on the relatively rare occasions when a landlord is away and something requires attention in person.

We combined the equity lines of both of our properties to do this, then refinanced back out with a 30 yr fixed.  

It is rare these days unless the loan was originated a long time ago.  

Some parks where filled up with owner's relatives who rarely pay and who move out after sale.  

I seek out a property with "issues", whether property condition, management, or a combination of the 2.  

So its a combination of increasing costs and relatively flat rents that puts too much of a squeeze on cap rates.Still a lovely place to visit or to live....but maybe not to invest in my opinion
