@Eli SunderlandI have a four plex in Crystal, and four SFR in Southern, MN. 

They've done it in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Vallarta, the Riviera Nayarit, the Cabo area and the others where they have invested but, of course, nobody has a crystal ball and there are no guarantees of success in any investment opportunity.I'm a conservative investor so I've always been suggesting to buyers/investors to avoid getting in a position to need that massive upside to make money so that they almost don't have to care.

Unfortunately there are no crystal balls for the prediction of the market so waiting on the sidelines to adjust wait to time the market is not the best move to make.

Make sure that on every property you buy, that you clearly assign duties and ownership interest so things are crystal clear, should the worst happen.

@Crystal Aasir PM me and I can pass that along. 

I told them that I was looking in the northern metro (Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale, and Crystal) and what my range is and they are willing to play ball.

@Brady @Brady AlfordI would get one of those crystal dance balls for the ceiling.
