Okay  - I'm seeking input from some seasoned / battle hardened real estate investors about my next investment move.Here is a synopsis of our circumstances and what my goal is:  1: I am unemployed (semi-retired or you might say fully depreciated in my industry;-), but I continue to look for work. 2: I have a strong operations background and know how to determine whether I can turn a profit on an investment 3: I have a respectable amount of capital available for the right investment 4: I am not afraid to micro manage an investment project5: Perfect world I would like to "net" a minimum of $2500 per month within the next 10-12 months and would like to continue increasing that amount through further investing6: Any return on my investment "must" give me a minimum of a 10% return on my investment.7: I am pre approved to finance up to $200K Some personal notes: My son has a mild disability and is our greatest concern.

We have similar backgrounds, I'm also excited about using my license to purchase my first investment property within the next few months.

I don't have a real estate background yet, but I'm learning here on Bigger Pockets.

I have no real background in real estate aside from my father having been an agent and broker.I’m still working my job in Project Management.

He has a good feel for the KC rental market and a background in rehabbing. 

Having a wide background and diverse construction experience to use, as well as working relationships with all the trades people , my goal is to rehab and sell quality and Reliable homes that people can purchase and know they have home that is workingand will continue to work for many years.

I focus on residential but have a background in commercial so am very familiar with both.

As some background, I just had a MassSave home energy audit and 1 of the hot water heaters and the gas space heater came back with above code readings of CO emissions, so I need to replace those before I can proceed with the MassSave insulation work. 

A little background, We have been in the game for 10 Years full time,  experimented with many different rehab models, we rehabbed 15 houses last year and wholesaled (bought and sold) 28  houses to a couple other rehabbers, half of them to former employees who are now doing their own rehabs. 

Background check not ran.
