Jennifer Krupp I am in the same boat as you are.

When I represent a buyer on the retail side, the main factors are budget ($250K means Brockton, not Wellesley), commuting options (highways, commuter rail, commuter boat), Schools (refer to www.GreatSchools.org) and crime (I use Trulia's crime heat maps).For investors, it's a lot more about where the investor wants to be. 

Thank you for your time,MoosaHi Moosa,I'm in the same boat in determining that now as we've been priced out here in South Florida (currently have 3 properties - a house hack duplex, a long term and a short term vacation rental) I'm also starting my education on that with David Greene's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" which is referenced on BP quite frequently, so that's probably a great first step. 

We're in the same boat--new, getting ready to start, but wanting a contractor who's honest, reliable, and competent. 

He has a nice 30 foot boat , its name is  " Contract"  Now he puts that boat up on his 150 ft yacht .

@Ladarius Peterson I am in the same boat as you. 

Or he may want the liquitity because in his mind he is planning to buy a boat or car.

Bad leverage is using existing equity to buy toys like cars and boats or continuing to buy investments that negative cash flow. 

I'm in the same boat.

I am in the exact same boat as you @Jonathan Masiello.
