Is brother1 now effectively responsible for it all.

But remember even those interested are on 1000 different lists and are getting giant piles of mailers.I'm shocked any time anyone tells me they're even a TINY bit effective. 

So your effective rate is higher than 6% - 8% in such a scenario.

Unfortunately many people want to get rich quick through Real Estate and are looking for short cuts, avoid the sellers and buyers of the get rich quick schemes/programs plot your course, be methodical and consistent and you'll get to where you want to go.

Hey @Mike B.Yeah this is a first time for me and I decided to go with the butcher block because it went with the overall design and was cost effective (only needed an standard 8' section). 

Personally, they've all washed into the background when I'm driving around but one creative sign did sign out because the presentation and message was simple and more professional than a sharpied sign crudely tacked up on a light pole.Let me know if they've work for you as a cost effective lead generation strategy.

@Dustin AwtreyIt's hard to give a rule of thumb for rental real estate because ROI and effective tax rate are generally measured over a life cycle rather than each year like W-2 income.Unless you provide 'substantial services' with your rental (aka hotel-like services), the rental activity won't be subject to SE taxes, which is a strong positive...Some properties produce tax loss from year to year, some properties produce tax income.Some people are 'real estate professionals' who can use that tax loss to offset other sources of income, some aren't.Rule of thumb: no rule of thumb, work with your tax CPA/EA.
