Purchase price: $232,500 Cash invested: $45,000 Newly renovated SFR in Shore Acres, St.

Assuming a 340k purchase price that would be 34,750 out of pocket.   

I have experience as a Residential agent in Denver, CO and as a commercial Leasing Associate in Chicago, IL.I am planning to purchase my first rental home here in the next year or so and make it my primary residence.

Purchase in an international market for potential high returns?

I have an investor friend who is a very successful wholesaler in a market, (south FL), that is crawling with wholesalers. 

Buyers usually want to purchase on today’s value while sellers often want to use future potential of the property (“current rents are below market” or “room to build an additional property”, etc) to increase the purchase price or likelihood of a sale.

Taking a 15 year mortgage will hemorrhage your debt to income ratio and make it difficult to qualify for more home purchases in the future. 

Purchase price: $232,500 Cash invested: $45,000 Beautiful fully renovated Shore Acres 2/1.This house really stands out on the block with the new bright paint scheme!

My new friend @Gabe Chase just put together a STR Mastermind for Property Managers (and we're looking for new members to join us!).

I can only speak to Milwaukee, but on average the three distressed properties I have purchased over the past ten years have appreciated an average of 200% all while providing steady cash flow.
