How much time you need to gain appreciation depends on the asset, the sub market, and most importantly the investor choosing and managing the asset, and in the most extreme example your lifespan.Risk in real estate investing comes from two sources. the 1st and biggest contributor is investor error.

@Anthony MaiI will bet my personal reputation, coupled with the wristwatch of your choosing, that this is a legit 3 unit.

However, what is your business strategy, timeline horizon, and debt tolerance? 

Choose wisely.Lastly, work with someone who has the heart of a teacher, not that of a salesman.

Depending on what type of investment you choose, you can definitely achieve more than $5,000 per year on $90K. 

So in short, yes investors probably keep some deals for themselves but that doesn’t mean the owns they choose to wholesale are bad deals. 

So, the total move-in costs (not including pet fees, if applicable) would be $2475, all paid prior to lease signing.Also, we would need copies of the two most recent pay stubs and photo ID for all applicants aged 18+ (I can scan at the showing) to begin the verification process, which only takes a few days.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St, so you can get a “feel” for the neighborhood.

The process is easy so lenders are willing to let the borrower choose how they want to hold the property and loan.Hope this helps clear some of the confusion.

I would encourage you to only put the minimum down you can tolerate and still be able to enjoy life.
