I do single family duplex and 4 plexes. I looks for 10 caps and/or 1.25 - 1.5% rent to purchase price (I.e if property is 100k, it should rent for $1,250-1,500). This will give you plenty of margin as your mortgage and expenses (tax, ins, maintenance) will likely be $700-750. Leaving you a good spread.

Thanks - where do you find 10 caps? I feel like everyone would want those so there must be something wrong with them. Everything I see is 5-6 cap

Feeling so frustrated and scared. I am trying my hardest to be loving to my brother who is addicted to many things. My family has been encouraging him for years to get real help. He’s finally semi-agreed to go to a detox facility and then rehab. However, those are far away from where we all live now. My 70+ dad wants to fly with my brother there to make sure he goes. I understand, but also...there’s a freaking pandemic going on with a virus targeting older people. Cont’d...

(1/2) As my first full year of practice comes to a close, it looks like my pre-tax salary for this fiscal year year will be just short of $400k — after year end bonuses are distributed next month (the 400k figure also includes my low base, but 75% of it reflects bonus). As of now, before my bonus has come in, I’ve got 193k student loans, 60k in investments, and 20k in savings. How much of the bonus should I use to pay student loans, and how much should I contribute to my investment portfolio?

My partner and I (both in our 20s) would like to get a house but it seems like we either get it now or in the next 5 years. I plan to get my MBA full time in 2022 (sponsored, hopefully), which means I would have no work history for two years. My partner will likely do a year long clerkship in 2021 that will sky rocket his income after, but since it is a pay cut it will not look good for preapproval. Right now, we have been employed for 2 years with a good combined income. Should we wait it out?
