When the subject investment was offered to the public, the “risk free” return as per the 5 year t bill was about less than 1 percent.  

Your lender and home inspection can answer these questions.On the financing end, you want to make sure you can obtain a commitment letter in the timeframe specified on the contract.

Permits are taking longer, contractors are less predictable, and buyers are taking more time to commit—especially at higher price points.

My fault @Miles Mac - We've had a couple of people pass through the Chicago Cashflow Breakfast Club since you...either way you've got a good looking picture so I should recognize you lolRisks mainly lie in the time commitment required to manage &lease, and in the actual management of the people within the property.  

This way you get hands-on experience, build a small portfolio, and start showing lenders that you can manage properties and cash flow.Whichever path you choose, focus on learning the process, analyzing deals carefully, and making sure you are comfortable with the numbers before committing.

Quote from @Tim Delaney: @Marty Boardman thanks for sharing - just to be clear you put all your expenses related to the house under one capital improvement account t (Wip) and do not bother breaking them down into categories like kitchen and flooring and paint, etc?

To say all people are safe using dope or seller financing is foolish at best and someone needs to monitor the situation for them.Or, we could just let every child have a handgun and bullets and tell them to go learn in the marketplace.The info is available for free to learn to be a knife juggler, too.Will you commit to paying for the legal expenses of anyone that follows your advice?

I’ve been underwriting a lot of multifamily deals lately, and one thing I’ve been working on is improving my initial pass — the quick screen I do before committing time to a full 10-year model.To make that easier, I’ve been building out a cleaner deal dashboard.

Sometimes it’s just committing to an action for undetermined period of time and breaking things down that gets people over the hump.
