There is no way to really get an adequate perspective because there will always be a very wide variance of thought processes.

I think it puts the increase into perspective and I get no pushback or arguments from my tenants.

If you're looking to network with multifamily investors and service providers I host multiple events a month.

Which based on the gnashing of (mostly “frugal” REI) teeth, was the lowest in the industry (for most of you, especially with multiple, active accounts).I have my IRA, HSA, and CESA accounts (more on Solo’s shortly) with Quest.

Investment: $200K; ROI: 26.29%/year; 10-year equity: $1.1M; Total cash return: $1.2M. 10-year equity multiple: 8x on $200K investment.

I suggest you enter private money goldmine in search botton at top right of the screen and read the previous posts....here is one that gives good perspective as well as a link to legitimate private lenders.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/1488...

If you buy multiple properties, you can spread out your risk and avoid putting too much pressure on a single investment.

I am looking to learn and grow from different perspectives in the real estate investing space.

My attorney told me in 30 yrs he has never seen bank enact due on sale clause but he has seen multiple landlords get sued without LLC protection.  

To continue with the 8-unit example, you again end up spending many multiples of these costs to build a comparable portfolio of single family properties.Another disadvantage of single family properties is that there is only one tenant per building and if they stop paying or if there is a vacancy, the entire cost of that property is on you and your wallet until you can fill that vacancy and get the rent coming in again.
