It thats correct, its pure luck.

This is purely proprietary information that simply cannot be created from thin air and will always belong to the MLS.

That said, we've tried to create a "pure" community here.

It's nice to hear someone talk about something other than just pure profit--though admittedly I don't know your intentions.

Also, SF market rents are still way behind home prices and it's WAY unlikely you'll get $6,000 rents for a typical home of 600-750 range, so it's no good as a pure rental.

I am a law abiding citizen like I am sure that you guys are, but I am bothered by the secrecy and the lies and I dont trust the pure intentions of government especially not when a system created over 200 years ago was designed to limit the scope of its power.

Because where "I" want to live is becoming a determining factor in what properties I'm willing to invest in while if I just decide to rent, I can simply invest purely on the numbers.But the real question is do the benefits from being an owner tenant outweigh the expansion of my investment opportunities?

I'm looking at it purely by numbers- cutting an extra $8K off the top is tough- especially with a partner.

The analysis should be purely based on hard numbers right?

Now, if you're looking to be the person who is managing a rehab or being day-to-day hands-on, I don't think that is the case but as a pure cash/credit investor and/or landlord, I think you will find that remote investing can be quite rewarding.If you are looking for some resources to connect with in other states, try this board of course or other places on the web (I like Craig's List).
