Store front, office only, delivery bay?

Money is a store of productivity from which others benefit, including you. 

If it's your own personal equity it should be the theoretical rate of return you would like but obviously that is less risky.So my challenge to the BP community is, tell me what these numbers are in your latest deal, be it syndication, partnership or something you just bought.

There are brand new pass through deduction rules that are pretty complicated but can give you a big benefit if you qualify. 

I accidentally ventured into REI when we bought a new home in North Cal / Bay Area,  and rented out the previous one.

My second option is fix and flip out current home we bought last year.

Hey BP, I have just bought a property out of foreclosure.

I am a brand new investor looking to buy my first rental.  

When I bought my property in Long Beach, CA, I only put 5% down payment and took a loan with 3.85% interest rate plus a PMI ( $214).

You will be limiting your pool of potential buyers.If I were purchasing I'd really take time to figure out if the land and the location was worth it and I'd make sure that I could get a good rent and that I didn't have a lot of competition.I have a client who bought 3 doublewides a few years ago.
