@Ola Dantis thanks ola!

@David Abbate it was 8 years ago in Redding.

@Frank Geiger what are your favorite class of rentals and why?

@Will Barnard thanks will. What economic indicators do you look at to determine market conditions?

@Jeff Cagle thanks for the info Jeff. Do they run closer to 80% or more? Or is it just dependent on the deal?

@Josh VanSetten thanks for your input Josh. What markets are you looking at right now?

@Michael Via I’d like for it to search for individual properties based on specifications that I input, and then find rents for that type of property in that area so that it can give me the gross rent/property value ratio (2% rule).

@Greg Dickerson thanks Greg! How do you find most of your flips?

I bought my two investment properties about 8 years ago and at that time hadn’t heard of Th e 2% rule. When I recently learned of it, I went and did the math. Each of my properties falls between 1.3 and 1.6%. I’m wondering what seasoned rental property investors aim for when it comes to the 2% rule. Do you look for 2% or better? 1.5% or greater? Between 1 and 1.5%?

I have house hacked a SFH and I have used the BRRRR strategy on a duplex, however, I have never strictly flipped a property and sold it. For those of you guys go have experience with fixing and flipping, how closely do you stick to the 70% rule?
