Here are my parameters:$100k cash to invest into CRE.Monthly cash flow I can allocate to this investment: $3000-$4000Buy power: Excellent credit, and minimal obligations currently (no mortgage as of right now)Targets: Would entertain retail space, medical office space, or multi-family.Willing to: Make upgrades and improvements to the property (family has access to trades/contractors), and I'm willing to self-manage as long as it's in Houston area.Goals: Positive monthly cash flow >$500/month, an investment/location that will appreciate over time, already leased would be a plus.So with the above parameters what would you suggest?

Some of my clients are through the roof if they can lend a triple net Auto Store for 50 to 75 basis points higher than they are trading for.Some are happy with a nicer tenant demographic on a multifamily for an 8 cap where some want a 10 to 11 cap and will accept some crime for the extra 2 to 3% return.It is really all over the place as investors view things differently based on whether they are an individual, REIT, value add fund, etc.

I just don't see it...I've certainly heard many opinions...but still cannot rationalize in my mind how the good of what I do cannot be seen...How about how my work helps others in need...how I am changing one child's life at a time....I am sculpting young minds and hearts....why doesn't anyone ever comment on the good that can so easily be found in my trade?

I always require the full deposit (no installment plans, no trade in lieu of deposit, etc) prior to move in.

Hung, reperforming & performing assets with equity still trade at pretty significant discounts.

What you have to trade is an ever growing pool of listing referrals.

The requirement was that he had to help high school dropouts get their GED, and learn construction trades at the same time.

My father and I built our house ourselves when I was 13 with the exception of the technical trades (plumbing, electrical, etc), and we're rather thinking about doing it again.

For example, if you incur that expense prior to generating any income in your business and while you're still transitioning into that new trade, it may not be deductible. ...unless your math ability is seriously sloth like you damn well know what you are currently making per hour.I have no idea what my hourly earnings are.

Anyway, maybe focus on some other methods to generate leads such as driving for dollars, Craigslist ads, ban dit signs (some guy trade-marked that name, so I put a space in it), etc.
