Yes, I have invested since 2006. Topped out at nine properties while working full time. Currently at four, netting $1700. That is after deducting 25% for vacancy, management (even though we do it), repairs and long term capex.
So my question was, how would you invest 250k to live modestly off of, while still growing. I am 35, and want to focus more on capital growth than cash flow. I am comfortable with max 70% leverage going forward, in the business. We have no personal debt and never will.
As things go on, I may always pick up project or consulting work, if I come across the right arrangement, to cover some living expenses. Then the company can more completely reinvest its profits, without me siphoning off grocery money.
