AFTER OWNING AND MANAGING D & C'S FOR A BIT---- AND THEN WORKING WITH AND OWNING A'S AND B+'S----- NOT EVEN CLOSE... A'S & B'S ARE PREFERABLE. THE APPRECIATION & LINES OF CREDITS FOR THESE TYPES OF PROPERTIES EASILY MAKE UP THE PRICE DIFFERENCE.

Thanks for answering, Jay. Do you know why the 20% is the "magic number" for investments? I am just curious. 

TO PROTECT THE BANKS INVESTMENT IF THEY HAVE TO FORECLOSURE, THEY HAVE EQUITY TO SELL.

$300 A MONTH IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE—- A COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN 10 YRS WILL.

YOU CAN BEG FOR $300 IN AN AFTERNOON ON A STREET CORNER TO COVER UP THE EXPENSE.

 7% per year in appreciation is aggressive, we are out of that market.

$300 in an afternoon, really then we all should be doing that! 

DONT FORGET TO PUT "IN MY OPINION" AT THE END OF THAT.... TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INFLATION ETC--- 7 % IS A EASY NUMBER, ESPECIALLY WHERE WE ARE IN CA.

@Lindsey Spivey KUDOS FOR GETTING A DUPLEX AND NOT PAYING THE MORTAGE—— TO YOUR QUESTION, HELL NO I WOULDNT LET THEM DO THAT. THEYLL EXPECT SOMETHING LATER, IF NOT BILL YOU FOR IT! 5 YRS OF MOWING FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE U TO COURT AND YOU COULD BE FORCED TO PAY FOR SERVICES RENDERED. IVE SEEN IT HAPPEN! COURTS HATE LANDLORDS!

@Kath Marie thx, it’s exactly my point... it can be a nice income stream for sure no doubt, but why not vertically integrate? Take all of the profit and build and actual business instead of the hamster on a wheel? Just my 2 cents.

@Christopher Lane Ditch the wife, make some money, find a younger girlfriend and retire in Nicaragua... life is too short for that kind of negativity. Being an entrepreneur—- you fail 99/100 times, especially in the begining. If your wife brings that up and throws it in your face, I would throw the book back at her with D-papers in it.

Reminds me of one of my family members—- always calls me with ideas.... gets shutdown by his wife and her Dave Ramsey 401k work until your 65 plans. Lol

Goodluck and be true to yourself—-

I would just get a RE Liscense and partner with a money guy--- make the commission, get access to deals via MLS, network, and make $ on the flip or development and vertically integrate. It amazes me how some people will go through all of the work to farm an area and pass off profit to others.
