The 70% rule really doesn't help much if you are using a buy and hold strategy, with the exception that you know you can have a second exit strategy by selling and still make a profit if you needed to sell.  

Love the airport there flying in over the bay... there is an instrument approach that takes you over the spit and turns you back in.. and the burgers at the restaurant are nice.

A couple rules I set up for myself.1. 1% rule, rent needs to be at least 1% of purchase price2. with little to no profit I should be able to pay monthly expenses with half of the estimated rent 3.

Kids get out of college to appease their parents and now have 50,000 to 100,000 of debt and are flipping burgers at mickey d's.College can be a benefit if the right profession is chosen,the kid is passionate about the field,and loan costs are kept to a minimum.Going to college just to go is a waste of time.My friends and I went for a few years and would always be playing pool in between classes.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan "arguably the most unpleasant character on the world stage: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, wanna be king of kings, defender of the faith and ruler of the universe'Other than his personal characteristics Turkey has out of control inflation and a crippled economy is always looking for a fight with anyone that will advance the 'caliphates' own interest; other than that...go for it. 

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: One of these days I'm going to figure out why this was such a sensitive topic on this forum.Because you used 2 exclamation points on a big nothing-burger.

The 2% rule (rent should be at least 2% of purchase price) works OK for rents around $500, but the percentage can be lower for higher rents.

After all, you don't want a portfolio of fish burgers when your local investors are all looking for chicken sandwiches,right?!

With millions of illegal aliens in Southern California, which is where I am now, how about traffic, long lines at retail stores, trying to order a burger and the illegal behind the counter can't understand me or give proper change when the bill is 6.08 and I hand her 10.08?
