I've seen a lot of people mention Toledo for cashflow, so I started looking MF in the area and I found this property:1338 Brooke Park Drive Toledo, OH 43612 (8 Units - 2 Bed/1 Bath each) $280KI ran a rental property analysis on BP and filled out (conservatively) everything I knew how to (I don't know the area very well). 25% down, 30 year 6%, $4K monthly income ($500/unit), $3500 property taxes, $5000 annual insurance (shot in the dark, this is one of the things I have the hardest time estimating), 7% repairs/maintenance, 8% capex, 5% vacancy, 9% property management.

Thanks Nathan,Sorry you feel that way.I asked posed the same question of Bigger Pockets and my beloved Jay Hinrichs behind the scenes.I wouldn't consider my post a "sales pitch" as I never had any issues selling.Being tall, dark and having an Australian accent would sell itself in the US.God Bless America 👍My post is more of a "If you are looking to sell your company, hit me up" pitch hahaHappy New Year.

Not to dark and contrasts well with white trim or other darker accent colors on the same color swatch.

I think it's extremely important that people understand what the dark side of the real estate looks like.

I definitely think the above example are the extreme, but wanted to touch on the dark side potential for perspective.

Learn all you can, absorb all you can, my experience so far has been that real estate is like swimming, you cannot learn how to swim by attending classes, you gotta get into the water and turn insight into action, if possible shadow someone to learn while doing.Network your heart out, Real Estate is a relationship business, REIA, whatever forum are out there And above all, give it your all; make meaning, add true value, money is a byproduct of adding value. 

Embrace the dark side.

>>You might want to start by shadowing someone else so you can see for yourself how much hustle is actually involved.

Hence, from my mother's father, I surmise that slavery is a dark & evil thing, with lasting effects on descendants of who were enslaved.

Just don't go to that one area after dark...
