@Justin SwindleYou have come to the right place to connect with the wide array of real estate professionals and investors.

I purchase flips locally and shopping for multi-family properties nation-wide.

Bakersfield is widely considered one of the best, if not THE best, investment market in California.  

The attorney I use cannot do nation wide.   

That means there is a wide range of possible returns. 

The reason why the return is lower than the original cap rate is that the 14.74% is a purchase cap rate versus the higher market value now.What you are running into is that your return varies widely from year-to-year when you have aggressive debt pay down (or swings in appreciation).

On this site, a wide range of people associate Section 8 with people of color, with a reluctance to rent to them out of fear.

We average about $500 per unit CF and I have wrestled the same question for years: do you grow wide or do you grow deep?

They also have a team ready to show units at a wide variety of times, instead of whenever might work for an individual owner. 

So, I spent the better part of eight months talking to a wide variety of insurance salesmen, from the small-town old-timers to the "infinite banking" gurus, and here are a few of the things I learned:- A lot of money goes to the salesperson's commission and the cost of the underlying product, the life insurance.
