All I know is I'm just looking for strategy help/expertise and not for a company to manage my investments/funds who preferably charges a flat fee vs a % of my assets.

We'll start hearing about buyers getting screwed and suing listing agents in a few years, and O&E insurance claims will go up.How this ends, I don't know, but it's definitely go to be messy.

@Jeremy WillcoxsonIt all depends on your REI goals and the strategy to get there.

I'm going to have to crunch a lot of numbers for the loan, property tax, maintenance (which should hopefully be low on new builds), and I have to figure out how to obtain an insurance policy for the units. 

A FSBO seller also has more liability, and doesn't have Errors and Omissions insurance like a listing agent does.

I've seen along I-20 (between Atlanta and Birmingham), or along I-65 (between Birmingham and Huntsville), areas like Oxford, Lincoln, Pell City, Cullman etc,  there are some new builds 3bd/2ba for around 200k - 220k range, rent for about 1.5k, for a buy-hold strategy, I feel comfortable as long as it has a positive cashflow (with 25% down). 

I'm wondering if there are other strategies we should be looking at other than multi-family for this market.We have a lot of experience with multi-family and we're good at it, but it's a different market here.

If you rented it out, youd make 800 a month, or 9600 a year ( lets assume paydown of loan pays taxes and capex/repairs insurance etc, maybe its more or less you know the numbers not me ) So if you have 225k of equity and make 9600 a year your return on equity is only 4.2% , maybe less.

If you leave it up to them to figure out, they are probably never going too.Another strategy could be to Lease the entire portfolio with an Option to purchase for cash (or terms ) after they pass away.

I know about HML and PML, but Jake’s program seems to go into a lot of different creative strategies.
