Over the 17 years that I owned houses, they all made money.

Account ClosedWhen you are buying a property with more than one unit, lenders look at how much money you could make from renting it out and how much money you make yourself.

People make money in different ways in real estate.

Just curious in the near term what I should expect to make on my money.

The service has been excellent and I just had two items fixed that saved me a lot of money, one with a septic tank being clogged and some mold issues in a crawl space, saved a lot of money compared to other companies as well. 

Just my opinion but one residential property per LLC is an overkill in my mind and just ends up costing a lot more money down the road in administrative / accounting fees. 

Lots of different ways to make money in RE. 

After a long absence BP due to health issues I am dipping my toes in the hard money lending business again.

When you can sell a 43608 and buy 75% of a 43612 with 75% of the income but enjoy a higher class of residents with double the rental demand it's a solid strategy.I wouldn't say 43608 (or 43605 / 43609 and a few others) doesn't make money...it's that your portfolio of ten properties runs about a 40% chance of any property being rented for 8 months, requires an eviction and full rehab (the bane of realized income).

Some perform quite well and some you might lose your shirt on.
