The best way to go about is starting with single family homes or duplexs.  You'll get a taste of being a landlord.  With apartments it can be tricky.  Also, think about liquidity.  Apartment buildings are much more difficult to sell.  \n\nOnce you've established yourself with duplex's and houses then think monopoly.  Trade them in for the apartment complex. Good luck

I live in a town that has 18,000 people, but we have a university with another 15,000 students and two major interstates intersect here.  We have a mall where my best friend is the property manager (negotiates leases, etc.)\n\nWell, by coincidence this mall is going through a major renovation, so we have talked about these prices a number of times.  Right now they rent for $12 per sqft per year or 2000sqft * $12 = $24000/12 = $2000 per month and utilities are included.\n\nAfter the renovation, the price is going to be $22.5 per sq ft per year plus utilities or 2000 sqft * $22.5 = 45,000 per year or $3750 per month.\n\nDepending on how much traffic your mall gets, you could expect to pay $2000 - $4000 for 2000 sqft of space.

Probably not much.  Just invest in a mutual fund that invests in building

A lot of new home subdivisions are being built as common interest developments.  If you want to buy a property in one of these developments you must join the association.  In every association I have ever herd of there is always some type of fee.  Sometimes the fees are small, just some type of management fee.  Other times the association pays for gardening, maintenance, roads etcetera.  I know in some areas it can be hard to find properties that don’t belong to some type of association.  They do however exist; you just have to find them.  Oh, I almost forgot, if you decide to buy in an association community, read the CC&R’s VERY carefully.  They often have strict requirements about what you can and can not do to, on or in your own property.  \nBest of luck to you.

You are in idiot.  You are acting like you have a solid asset for sale.  I would rather buy an apartment building that was built on quick sand, and built on a fault line and built in a hurricane zone.  To me that seems like a more solid asset.\n\nGood luck.

As little as possible is often the most popular idea. However, it is wise to put down enough to make sure the property income will service the debt payments and taxes. You don't want to be paying out of pocket evey month unless you really need the loss for tax purposes. \n\nMost banks or savings and loans will require between 20 and 30 percent down payment in the US. The lenders are looking for the property to break-even or have some positive cash flow based on their projections income and expenses. The appraiser is often asked to make these estimates. However, I have purchased investment property with nothing but closing costs out of pocket using hard money lenders. I've even borrowed more than the purchase price when the appraised value was much higher than the purchase price. I have also run across some credit unions that loaned 100% for borrowers who had a good track record with the credit union. It's all in the deal.

That would depend on many things\nWhere you are building it\nWhat you are building it with are just two of the examples that would have to be taken into consideration.\nHow about labor cost? \nThe cost of permits

it depends on how much money you have to invest

It depends on a lot of variables:\n\n- Where in New York city will you locate. Rent in 5th Avenue is different from Harlem.\n- How big is the space you are planning to lease\n- What renovations or lease-site improvements will you do to the place you will get\n- What shelving systems and decor are you going to put up\n- How much inventory are you willing to put\n- How many staff will be on your payroll\n- How much initial marketing you will do\n- Plus your operating capital for at least 6 months

Well you can take the squaree footage of the apartments and divide it into the over all squar footage to get a percentage. That percentage would dictate the amount of expenses they should absorb. That is if your expenses are generalized.

Mathematical- you need to be able to calculate square footage, roof pitches,etc.\n\nA steady hand-with practice unless you are using CAD ROM programs

You can't get a buildout estimate from someone on Yahoo whose never seen your building. There's too many variables to consider. What you spend has to do with the decisions you make, and how much structural work, plumbing, HVAC improvements you need. Whether you have to replace the water heater, electrical work, fixtures, the size of ventilation system and grease trap, not just that you need them. Flooring surfaces can range from $2.00 per sq. foot to $25 per sq. foot. The type of finishes you choose will effect the price. The types of tables and chairs, in addition to how many you put in.\n\nYou're asking a question that can't be answered on here. Small, low rent restaurants could range in price from $20,000 to open, up to $300,000 or more.\n\nDetermine your opening costs by building a business plan off a rough overhead sketch of the operation. A beginners blueprint. Include everything you can think of, then organize into separate spreadsheets and price them out. You should have a spreadsheet for furniture, fixtures and finishes. You should have separate ones for kitchen equipment including your ventilation and grease trap, another for office equipment and supplies including any POS hardware and software or televisions and music systems throughout the restaurant, a smallwares list, beginning paper goods inventory, beginning linen inventory, beginning food inventory. Make a separate buildout spreadsheet with everything for the bathroom including fixtures, finishes, etc. This will make it easier to estimate the cost of a second bathroom if you need two. You then need a list of any permits and fees you'll have to pay to open.\n\nTake all this information to an architect. The architect will see costs you hadn't prepared for and will build a real blueprint. \n\nAfter you have everything priced out and suppliers for everything chosen, take the blueprint and your buildout lists to at least three quality construction companies and ask for bids. Don't try to shave expenses by using a budget general contractor, you'll regret it when your job isn't finished on time and it will end up costing you more in lost time than for paying a quality company. Ask for ideas from each company to save on your existing plan.\n\nIf you need help with any of this, or want to purchase some example templates to build a better business plan, contact me through my website. I give free initial consultations.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nbodell1@cox.net\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

WOW,\n What an opportunity. You have the answer right there. You have 330 units already rented with people who would love to save on their space. Make flyers, self or have kinkos or someone else do it. Say something like, Bring me a person who signs a contract for a place and receive a week or month free. depends how you normally charge. If  you charge 100 a month x1200 a year , and let's say 100 units take you up on this offer you loose $10,000 in free months or week  of rent. The up- side, the lost is only once(one month of free rent.). and of course you now have 100 more units rented. 100 times $100 a month = you guessed it $10,000. You really lost nothing and gained 100 more units rented. Suppose only 50 units remained after the month 50 x $100 a month =$5,000, additional  money than your current situation and very little expense from you. I would sweeten the deal and offer those that are referred a free week or free month,but of course only if the sign a longer lease. Your  customers are always looking for ways to save, they are motivated. Business cards, cheap and cheap to print on the back , 10% discount off of 1st month rent etc, with this card. Give them out to everybody,everybody. Leave them when you pay for dinner or at the cashier at the gas station, post them in apt buildings laundry mats, etc

How much do you need?

The best option for you would be to find others with 30k to invest and see about setting up a REIT (real estate investment trust). Think about it, get 10 people together and now you've got 300k to work with. At that point, you can put the money down on a strip mall, apt complex, etc... Commercial real estate is very lucrative and often you will walk in cash positive. In fact, you can't buy the place (conventionally) unless you are cash positive. You get to see the previous owners 3yrs of financial records to tell you if it's going to yeild you a return or not and so on.

Maybe. It depends upon the local real estate market. It also depends upon your definition of Investment. Are you looking at paying cash for a home there in the hopes of seeing the price go up in order to make a profit? OR are you looking to pay cash for this home to Live in either full or part time? I would hesitate if you are looking at using it as an investment vehicle. Most of the time Real Estate is a Liability with Maintenance, insurance, utilities, Property Taxes, association dues etc... That exceed the annual appreciation of the value of the property. My question to you is Do YOU REALLY NEED 2 houses? If not, put your money elsewhere to grow. Unless you are looking to purchase property in one of the few areas that are involved in states of Hyper-Inflation of property values, your money is better invested elsewhere and you can use it at any time to buy property where you want to live. Examples of these are the Ridiculously overpriced Condominium market in Florida and the WAY overpriced houses in Southern California. I believe that these growth rates are unsustainable and many people are going to lose their shirts there eventually. \n  Point is I would need alot more information to make an educated answer to your question beyond Maybe.
