First off, never tell someone as a newbie how much you have available. Everyone and their brother will either try to sell your a "program" or a **** deal. As they know he can afford it. I would start looking at multifamily units, maybe a nice 8 unit to get your feet wet, using my 480k for my 20% down and hire a great PM. Then rinse and repeat. Keep in mind live where you wanna live and invest where the numbers make sense. If you truly want passive income, location should not matter. Happy hunting!

If I was in your shoes, I'd learn a few things on first one then hire a pm. 20-30 units, your phone will ring non stop and burn you out. You will be putting out fires vs expanding the biz. I managed mine up to 38 units. Learn from others that have cut the checks from their mistakes.

This may be a touch off topic, But I have been in the rental biz for the last 16 years. (Im 36 years young). The best thing I have ever done for my biz was to hire a PM after 15 years. I did not manage my units as well as a professional does. I know everyone wants to nickle and dime the rentals to squeeze all available profit out. But sometimes you are stepping over dollars to pick up quarters. Is your biz goal to manage a bunch of units or purchase a bunch of units.......

First, thank you for your response to my post. I agree, I need at least 10% down to have enough skin in the game, but how would this view of risk change, if at all, if the buyer had a perfect FICO score? My credit is perfect, and I have known the seller for many years, so hopefully the seller will be comfortable with the deal.
I think you misunderstood me. I CHARGE 10 % interest when I loan out money. Not I get a 10 % down payment on deal.
If you have the great credit etc and I was the seller. Every seller has a different reason for owner finance. Alot of times the market does not bear the current ask price/ repairs needed and owner finance is the only way. Other times it may be a tax strategy on the sellers part.

What is the need for the attorney? What questions are you looking to answer? Most attorneys dont understand real estate at all. My goal is to talk with one as little as possible. Do you know how to tell when an attorney is lying??? HIs lips are moving.

Id figure atleast 10% gross rent cap x. This is a new park to you. Dont forget book keeping, manager, repairs. In the multi family game you can figure 40-50% gross rent on expenses.
