My girlfriend isn't pregnant. Unfortunately she's kinda chubby. She's from Poland and isn't used to the fatty American food.

I never went to university. As soon as I turned 18 I began selling insurance (health & life), targeting the senior market (65+, Medicare). I lived with my parents & saved every penny. I worked nonstop. No friends. No drinking. Very rarely dating.

In 2015 I purchased an office building for $150K cash. This year I had another ~150K saved up. I got a commercial loan (7 year term, 25 year amortization, 5% interest) for the other 80% (total 1.3m) and I found this complex. It took about 7 months from first seeing the property until closing (today).

After EVERYTHING is paid for (taxes, insurance, mortgages, repair fund, property management) I'll STILL be cashflowing approx. $2,500/month. This is before I increase any rents and before I lower any expenses.

$2.5K/month is more than I spend in a month, so now I am officially financially free and retired at age 21.

He's 21 now, so when he dropped 150k in 2015 he would have been 19.

150k post tax after a year, maybe two, of selling insurance.

Assuming, most conservatively, that he had a full 2 years to get that $150k we can call it roughly y1 70k and y2 75k. Assuming all post tax money went to savings, and a 25% tax rate, he's making roughly 100k a year.

$2,500 from 20 apartments after all expenses paid is okay. I'd say it's not a prime location (considering purchase price and possible rent per unit), but what matters is the performance and risk mitigation and it sounds like a good deal. If it plays out as intended, well done.

Here's the financial analysis (and a pic of 4 of the units). I'm going to make more than $2.5K a month, I am just being ultra conservative with the numbers. Most likely I will net about $4K a month, and that's before I raise the rents (the previous owner hasn't raised it in years).

[Address Redacted] (8 Units) Built in 1998, annual income of $61,440. 2 bed/1.5 bath ($600)
[Address Redacted] (12 Units) Built in 2008, annual income of $92,160. Units 1-8 are 2 bed/2.5 bath ($700), 9-12 are 1 bed/1 bath ($600)
Total Units: 20
Total Income (Rents): $153,600

Expenses (Annual)
Cleaning: $1,550 + $2,325 = $3,875
Repairs: $1,180 + $1,770 = $2,950
Taxes (County only): $4,000 + $6,000 = $10,000
Utilities: $2,022 + $3,034 = $5,056
Insurance $2,220+$2,220 = $4,440
+Annual CapEx fund ($30/month per unit) = $7,200
+Average Vacancy rate (3%) = $4,608
+Property Management fee (5%) = $7,680
Total Expenses: $45,809

You don't. Regulations can change that require costly upgrade (e.g. energy or water saving). You can't influence market demands (depending on demography [household size] and economic situation), only react to it--but buildings aren't that flexible (location, configuration). There's still risk you can only try to mitigate, i.e. you don't have full control.

fat has 9 kcals per gram versus protein/carbs 4 kcals per gram. Studies show that you have more satiety from eating fat, because you're eating twice the amount of energy per fat gram. Calorie-wise, if you go over however much you end up burning in a day which is about 2kish for the average adult and 3kish for a fatty, you will store the excess as fat. It's not as simple as "if you eat fat you'll gain weight". The reverse is true, often, because the major reason why most people are overweight is that they are eating carbohydrate sugars(bread, fruit, nearly anything not veggies and meat) instead of carbohydrate fiber(veggies, brown bread is a dirty lie).
This is why you see people tout things like 'paleo', 'vegan', etc. when the real problem is the fucking sugar. Sugar digests quickly and leaves you hungering for more, so you can easily go over your calorie limits for the day without noticing.
It's really insidious because sugar is basically the entire grocery aisle. Peanut butter? Sugar. Crackers? Applesauce? Anything but straight cheese, veggies, and meat? Sugar.
There's a reason why the obesity rate skyrocketed in the 1970s, it coincides with the proliferation of high fructose corn syrup and sugary drinks.
There are of course, people who are fat because their biological off switch that tells them they are full is malfunctioning, are sugar addicts, or spend too much time on 4chan /biz/ reading posts like this one instead of having a life.

I wrote a long ass post that somehow disapperad so i'll be brief.

Being a communist actually gives you an edge over ancaps, libertarians and others with an illusiory sense of superiority regarding economics. Who often fail to realize that their privileged position they are in have actually come about by violating the "NAP" against others for centuries. Primitive accumulation of capital as Marx would have put it (acquisition through the use of force).

By focusing on the inherent value of something, for example, you don't get easily sucked into promises of lambos based purely off speculation on what something COULD become, not what they've actually delivered.

You also don't develop the cryptoanarchist puritan mindset about everything having to be decentralized in order for them to support it. The irony of course being that everything under capitalism has a tendency to end up more and more centralized. Take bitcoin for example. Decentralized? with massive mining complexes built, mining pools/cartels formed and no improvement occuring for two years just because one pool stood to lose from the implementation of a protocol, better yet imagine how bitcoin would develop without the Core team pretty much in charge of getting things done. Total chaos as dissent would spring up with every new line of code or deciding on which direction to take.

And you always prepare for the next,inevitable, capitalist crisis.

>real estate is a job
Real estate is such a broad category. If you're talking specifically about rental property, yes it's a job unless you outsource the property management to someone else, which is what I did and I'm still making money.

>>2921352
At the time I had about 730 credit and no personal debt, and ~$130K in the bank. Now I have 770 credit, and the only debt I have is the commercial loan.

>>2921434
Real estate has tremendous tax advantages. Depreciation, write off of interest, etc. Plus you can cash out refinance in a couple years, pulling out your original investment tax free & you still own the property.

>>2921464
As part of the purchase agreement, the previous owner fixed all the deferred maintenance. In the future if something breaks, I have 3 options. #1 is use the previous owner's brother (who lives at the property and helped build them) #2 is use another handyman I'm friends with or #3 is let the property management company contract it out. Most likely I'll be going with #3.

>>2921500
Yes I absolutely think starting out with smaller properties is a good idea; what I would recommend is buy a duplex on a 3.5% done FHA loan, live in one half and rent the other half. This is known as "house hacking". The renter will pay your mortgage payment, you live rent free & you may also make a little bit of money depending on how good the deal is.

Read the book "set for life" by Scott Trench. Or just search "house hacking" to learn more about it. You are on the right track, bro.

And it better be above 8% YoY or you're getting shafted.

That's not how this shit works the purchasing price is 1.3 million and you get 25k a year.

This is a ROI of 2%. You could've spend the 1.3 million on stocks with a div/yield of 8% such as many oil companies right now and you'd made a lot more money.

Opportunity cost man. Sure your "cash on cash" return might be close to 20% but you're losing a lot of money because you only make 2% ROI from the housing.

You can't just exclude money lend from leverage from the ROI because it's still subject to opportunity cost.

Real estate isn't in every country the real deal.
We own more appartments in Ger. The laws are made for the tenant. Not for the owners.
For example, if a tenant doesn't pay it could take months (till 2 years) to denounce him. You have to go to the court and get a title for him to get him out. You have to pay the money for the court. That means he doesn't pay your rent, he perhaps destroy your appartment meanwhile and it could take months to get him out. The problem is you can sue him later to get the money back, but if he doesn't have anything the money is lost.
We had this with one tenant, cost 6k €(for lawyers and court) , loss of rent 3-4 k € (because he didnt pay meanwhile). At least he doesn't destroy the appartment. That Means 10k lost, he file then for privat bankrupcty. That means every euro over 1,1k he have to pay for you and your loans. But since he get sued he never earned more then 1,1k € a months. After 7 years he is free of his dept.
Furthermore i can write books with stressful stories about tenants. We had a private hooker, in one appartment, nobody didn't know until the local Hells Angels threaten us with baseball bats that we should stop this business, we even didn't know she was a hooker. She did it private.
Or we have other tenants they call us because of every shitty thing. Real Estate really depends on tenants and the country. You can make much money. I'm a studied financial analyst, real estate is nice to have but i wouldn't like to make all my money with it, at least here in Germany, cause the country is so fucking cucked and becoming more cucked everyday. It protects the social weak with the money from the guys who work day and night.
OP how are the laws in US, when somebody doesn't pay rent how fast can you legally get him out of the appartment?Another Anon can post the answer too.

Ye thats a big problem here in Germany too.
We would outsource some work for our appartments too, but its hard to find good people. If they see what you get they get and they become depended to your property they become greedy and demand more.
Furthermore you need some intelligence. Some firms just send mechanics there. 3 Weeks ago our cellar filled up with water. We didnt know. We thought it is a pipe break, which would cost much money for finding the break and repairing it. We searched ourselfs, and found out it just was a plugging caused by moist toilet tissues, cause the bitches use this shit things for their pussies and throw it in the toilette. The moist toilet tissues doesn't solubilize like normal toilette paper made out of cellulose. So the pipe plugged and watered the cellar. It was not easy to find the cause. A Management firm would just send mechanics there. Would cost 1-2k for finding the problem then perhaps 500€ for solving it. It costed us just 400€ for solving it. We had the same for a toilette problem. Some firms said we have to tear out the pipes to solve the problem, which would cost couple of thousand of dollars, i found a solution for 50€. You can save a lot, but it can be stressfull with annoying tenants like i said in >>2927953.
But we're doing half of your money with 1/4 of ur appartments but it cost us perhaps 40hours a month could also be 140 hours if there is a big problem.

ye i can tell more, i just said the hardcases.

But you're right. We have luck. Our properties are located in cities, where there is no rent index, so we can use every rent we want.

But the harder thing is the regulations for the rental contracts. In private rental contracts (means the tenant is a private person, no business) you can't write what you want, the law is total for the tenants.
Funny thing is you can't get out the tenants of your appartment without a fixed reason. There are 3 fixed reasons in BGB (code of law for the private things in germany):
you can get him out if you want to use the tenant yourself, but you have to prove it.
If you can use the property economically "better"
or if the tenants is doing breach of contract. Perhaps like if they are breaching the peace.

But you cannot denounce the contract, if you have another tenant who would pay more for the rent.
The economically "better" reason is just a slight reason, it's never used. The most landlords go over the "Eigenbedarf", which means they fake that they will use it themself, perhaps say they need it for a son or daughter. But the tenants can file a suit against your reason, so you have to prove it.
The laws here are so shit. It is funny how castrated you are for having a property and renting it to private people.

Landlords using their work and efforts to build up houses renovate them for the society. How the fuck they are parasites of society, tell me. If nobody would be a landlord, everybody needed to buy a house, and it could cost a much work and its even a risk, which tenants dont want. The market regulate itself if you want to rent a nice appartment with no own work (like cleaning stairs) in a high demanded part of city you have to pay much for it.
Im sure you're living in a landlord friendly country, where property is secured like it should be, but if you're unhappy with the landlords in your country just move to Germany, we take atm everbody who immigrates. The one more or less doesn't even count.
Move to Germany and especially a less bigger city, you will never have problems with landlords, because the law is totally on your side, just read the posts i did the last hour.

I assume this is bait, and I'm not sure where you live, but:

1: You have no control of stock prices with very rare exceptions, but you do have control of exactly which stocks you own. In general, you can change that with little cost. Not so with real estate.

While you have control of the real estate itself, you have little control of the market in your area. If your holdings are geographically concentrated and, say, an important employer decides to close down, you will be hit.

2: Margin is absolutely a thing in most countries. Granted it will not be as cheap as a mortgage, but it can be done.

3: Expected returns are tied to the risk inherent in the investment. Why do you think government bonds have low returns?

He most likely grinded hard as a "financial advisor" at Northwestern Mutual or some similarly scummy insurance vulture.

To be fair I respect the business model of those companies a lot: hire morons, get them to sell policies to their families, and finally when they use up all of their immediately available victims, keep the clients as they are forced to move onto new employment.

If you're serious about it you need to talk to an attorney, but I would doubt there is a huge variance.

Assuming you live in WI, you would mainly need to consider the cost of whoever you plan to pay to manage the property. Otherwise owning and managing properties that are hours/states away is pretty implausible.

Real Estate is a good financial biz for non studied people. I made already money with real estate, oldtimer and stocks. Cars and real estate has very easy barriers to market entry. Real stock trading isn't so easy in my opinion. For real estate if you can work a little bit and repair, you can restore or repairs some things yourself. You won't get rich with it fast. But you can earn monthly really easy if you are not totally brainfucked. Trading depends earlier or later calculations and analysis. You fight against big banks with insider information and greedy brokers.
You recognized yourself some misunderstandings OP had about stocks. Stocks aren't so easy. If you want to make money on daily basis. If you just put some money in some ETFs and and stocks with dividends and just wait 5-10 years stocks are easy. I think OP just saw an easy opportunity.
>>2928602
It could be at the low interests atm, if your business plan is very good and the bank calculates the risk very low. Dunno how the banks are in US. But i saw calculations for real estates in Ger with 20k equity and around 150k worth.
But 150k of 1,3 just 11,3 percent. I mean nothing is impossible it really depends on the real estate and his business plan, you can calculate every risk. Perhaps the bank employee wanted the provision of this big loan and whiteslashed the business plan. It really depends on the individual case.
>>2928642
Think u misunderstood something. My posts about Germany.
Dunno how the laws are in US. I just know they are not so tenant biased like here, but dunno if they are regional difference. But i would google it. They are insurances for everything even shitty tenant, you can lower your risk with insurances but it also lower your profits.
Google is your best friend (Increase of population past/forecasts, unemployment, look up the prices) If you are interested in some properties, just drive to it some days look how the region is, talk to neighbours etc.

If you are not a big investor. I would suggest you that your investment shouldn't be so far away from you. Big investors can buy proper managments. In my opinion for little investments it is in rare situation sustainable. Furthermore, perhaps you want or have kids, just keep that in your mind, perhaps your future kids want to move in a house.
If you show up yourself sometimes at your Real Estate, the tenants are more afraid.
But never befriend with the tenants, my father often did this mistake. Never do this, and never rent it to friends, except you know they are real wealthy and never have money problems. Because if they are short on money and they are friends it will be a twist. I mean if your daughter/son will live there with her/his spouse and pay you a friendly rent later its okay. But buy real estate, which perhaps you can use or could have a future use for you. It lower the risks and really don't rent it to friends. We made 2 times this mistake two times the had money problems and we much issues with them

Like I said, that is fairly implausible even assuming you have the skills to fix any issues that may arise. Otherwise you're going to see all of your expected profits go to electricians/plumbers/etc.

Direct real estate as an investment class is just as much of a meme as gold or anything else that people like because they "own" it and it's not "just on paper" or whatever. I don't think it isn't useful, just that it probably shouldn't be more than 5% of your investment portfolio unless you're ultra high net worth/ ultra high risk preference.

I've seen plenty of horror stories given my job, but I've also watched two close friends (separate incidents) invest in direct real estate and fail miserably.

First one bought a bunch of local property because "it's cheap" (aka thousands of property investors must be wrong). Those other investors were right and the entire county went to even more shit. Dude lost most of the substantial savings he built in his 20's.

Second didn't factor in the cost of being a landlord and thought he could do it himself despite being a software guy. He is continuing to lose money to electricians and plumbers despite modest property value gains.

Based on what he's said, I'm more worried that OP made a serious decision without a proper understanding of the investment landscape.

I've also worked somewhat closely with many Chinese investors and there is a massive predilection for RE investing, which is partially because the Chinese stock market is much more difficult/opaque as compared to US equity markets. I'm not saying it's wrong, just pointing out something I've seen frequently.

Do you have the skills to act as a landlord? That should be your first concern. I don't, and it's a big part of why I live in an apartment. If my dishwasher acts up I call them and expect them to fix it within 2 days max. If you don't feel comfortable with that responsibility, I wouldn't recommend investing at this point.

Thats why i said the best investments in real estates, are those who you would use yourself , or perhaps a future child of you can use it.
And buying low on real estates can pain your ass, that is right, that much guys overrate their skills.
But i would also visit the real estate with an independend electrician or an surveyor. The cost of those lower later the risks. Real estates could cost a lot of money, nerves time etc. My debilitating factor of real estate are the real dump tenants, and they call you because of fucking everything day and night. It is nice when real estates runs but if harder problems came it can be stressful. I'm atm overstressed cause other things family, health probs etc, and i wont lie about dealing with the tenants is a real big stress factor. But depends on the class of the real estates, worker real estates, i would say lower till mid tier are more stressfull. But there are even fakers, they come with the Porsche and quit paying the rent too. The tenants are in my opinion the big unpredictable factor. And of course the unpredictable repairs, but some tenants fix the little thing theirself, they are just social and not braindead, if there is a a little leak they just fix it. Other call you at 1 am and want to cut off the rent if you dont fix it until tomorrow, that is why you need a lawyer or better you know urself much about the rental laws.

All good advice. When I said "investment portfolio," I meant only assets that you don't plan to make use of personally. An asset that you never plan to sell isn't really an investment IMO (unless you care a lot about your heirs).

It is so sad to see so much problems in your country and nobody stops it. My real estate is atm in little cities, which will rise the next years. State invest much money in this city. The city was forgotten in the last years. I hope the price will go up. And perhaps sell it and search another country. But it is often hard to find good investments with passive income, especially in foreign countries, i know much about the rights and the situation here, i could gain the same for foreign countries but you have to learn many new things. I'm atm thinking about investing in Italy in lake regions. the coast is the same like germany full of immigrants. And you really dont want to see criminals things, sold some plastic trash or beeing robbed in your holidays. I'm not a nationalist im just for equality, the problem is that here are really refugees who want live in secure for some years, but they are the minority.

Happy to help, you're in a tough situation if you have a lot of RE/hard assets still in China.

Depending on their estimated value, it may be worth talking to an attorney who specializes in this stuff in Chicago. I'm sure there are many.

Really depends, what you want to earn. In little cities like im living, there are less job in the bank sector. Frankfurt, and Stuttgart, and Berlin would be places for you to live. I think Stuttgart would be the best because the Frankfurt is getting more cucked.
I'm got a degree myself. I studied Eng. + Economics. Specialised in Economics on Risk Management and in Eng on process engineering it helped me much for my self employment works. But like i said above, i'm atm near the border on overstressed and like burnout, thought i could never get this but it could hit everybody. I'm atm thinking about cutting down. Outsource some work of the real estates. searching an 25h week job and perhaps do the rest trading stocks. I want to live a months or if it is nice longer at a nice place. Thought first about NZ , but it is far away from here, now i'm thinking about tenerife. Nice weather internet is stable and its european.

Fair bet most of the time haha. This board draws a lot of people who have doubts about their financial decisions, and undergrad is where it mostly comes up.

It's even better that you don't invest in RE then, because a lot of the high paying biotech jobs in the US are in SF/SD (with many exceptions). If you are good at what you do (not a given for a lot of Chinese at my university, no offense), you'll have a high paying job out of school and you can worry about RE investing down the road.

And that their stupid opinion could be hard times for their kids. But i think many germans are intrinistic guilty for the history, especially because you get remembered everytime for it in every country on the world. I didn't have anything against jews,. I met a orthodoxe jew some days ago. (sold him private a car). He immigrated from Isreal, got here 3 kids, but you see the will to work. He asked us for jobs, hes working and would work day and night, whereas you see immigrants selling new Samsung S8 in facebook groups of refugges on daily basis. Normally they couldnt afford them so they locigally stolen. Im even not against welfare takers if you have health problems and really cant work, thats how social system should work, but this abuse of this system by making 15 kids from 15 fathers to get child allowance.

I tried all kinds of trading and think that long-term just put in money and wait for it or swing trading are from stress to gain factor for me the best. But you're right. The most traders make money with giviing the information how to make money to others, but nobody is making the real money. Some do ponzi schema, thats what you thought about OP. But you're right if your making much money in short time, either you have a very brilliant idea (which is mostly then luck), or you have just luck , winning lottery, buying eth at 5 dollar and selling it at high ( im pretty sure nobody who looked daily at his depot did this, but i read about guys who forgot about theyre cryptos and millionaires now) or your work isn't criminal, drugs , ponzi schemes, and so on. Best example are this global youth entrepeneurs (jeunesse and this shit).
But i'm pretty sure if you are good educated there is job for you. I learned much about my life last years but all of my time in gaining money, but if real health problems rise, then money really can't help you , thats why i switched my mind a little bit. I'm atm more for good work-life balance, and working in a nice country. I dont like cold weather and not too hot. But you should google about Germany. It isn't atm so hard that you go out and be murdered by a refugee, but i think we need a big change and stop lying about the truth. If this doesnt takes place then i see big problems. Sometimes i really dont know which country could be a good place to live on longterm and probably die, i googled so much, i'm not dependend and would move on, but there are good countries, south america, Canaries, NZ, to live, but its hard for people outside of the touristic branch to find a good job, thats why i try to be self employment, i wouldn't need so much.

That was big problem of my life until now. I never drank so much. Alcohol in right dose is a good stress medication, but its hard to find the balance. I never had compensation for the stress, thats what i put as a little hint for the younger readers, which i also learned. The big money live has also their costs. Would be fit in "wealth management". I get known with some high tier people, one is owning a helicopter, other has big car collections, other fuck high class hookers. That was the problem, i never thought i need it, just move on. Thats why i calming down a little bit and find my inner earth, before i can move on to the next level. That is the problem about biz a little bit, there are less makers, was in early times a little bit better, there is much hate, and bragging. But sometimes there are good threads. But like i said have to move on just wanted to clearfiy that with alc. Never even did other drugs, except 1 blunt half year ago with age of mid end 20s. Neither did much alc in University, drank in whole studies so less as a normal student drank perhaps in one weekend. But i fight to get back my form and learn from my mistakes.
And look it up for wealth managent , i googled it when you mentioned it the first time, i knew about it before but never had it in uni, if you want a job abroad don't lose time, the most people doesn't make changes if they are older then 30-35 because the comfort zone is then mostly much bigger then the motivation to change
