@Mackal Smith   I suspect your net worth and liquidity in your stocks and bonds had a lot to do with you getting into the private banking side.All banks have private banking.. for high net worth folks they are just usually not at the branchs I have friends that work for Wells fargo for instance. and they are really just stock brokers.

Youy may know it as the world famous Hampton's.

For instance I use conservative numbers like 10% vacancy, 10% mainatenance, and I also include a future rehab cost and holding costs as well.

For instance, a perfect paying loan's return target is 12% but I bump it up to 15% to account for missing 3 of the last 24 payments, etc.  

For instance, I typically do investment properties on a 5 year balloon/20 year amortization, and the rate on something like that (at this time is 4.375%).

For instance wholesaling is NOT investing its sales and marketing and I firmly believe certain people have an innate ability that they were born with or acquired very young.. the gift of gab being one.. out going personality etc.. those folks generally are going to be far more successful at wholesaling than the person is a one that you would describe as a Wall flower .. with no people skills sales skills phone skills etc.. 2.

Early retirees essentially invest and build wealth the same way someone would if they were retiring in 17 years (23 + 17 = 40).For instance, if I was to retire at 65, then my '17 years to retirement' does not kick in till 48.

For Instance: What worked for you, The mistakes you encountered, & What you found to be Successful? 

you should be assuming 225k is your close price to be conservative worst case scenario to make sure you still will profit in this instance.

The one thing I would add is that if the building is pre-leased or once it gets leased, then in most instances the CAP rate will be determined by the location, class, the credit rating of the tenant and the length of the lease with little regard to the age of the building.
