I found another quick way of doing it:25% of gross rent for vacancy, repairs, and reserves (you can use this rule because these are just allowances, not measured expenses)Plus $50 per month for insurance (on SFR)Plus the taxes from the county website (Make sure to add town/county, city/village, AND school; zillow is almost always missing one portion; also be sure to remove any exemptions an owner-occupant currently gets)That tells me what my cash flow will be before financing.  

It's just so much easier to pick up a fiction novel, or (horror of horrors) watch something on YouTube or Netflix.

I don’t have experience with homes that have flooded multiple times and I’ve heard numbers ranging from 7-30% reduction of pre Harvey value in some areas such as Meyer land, Jersey Village, etc. 

I have contacted village and have received two different answers.

And there is plenty of evidence that can be interpreted to mean that global warming is fiction.

Also if you're in OC and have any details as to the Laguna Village HOA BK filing, that's what I'm referring to, so feel free to post those.

Then, they did the same with Playa del Carmen, which was transformed from a small fishing village into an international cosmopolitan beach city with a population of around 300,000 today!

Commercial loans are about 3.8-4.2% right now... so if you buy a 5 cap that is highly levereged, the play is appreciation, and increasing NOI.oh and for those that say appreciation is fiction, tell that to my friend who bought a house years ago for 20k and sold it for 950k.... or the bldg they bought for 450k selling for 3,5 million....  

Depends on what you are looking for, do you want RE hype, fictional success stories, Alice In Wonerland or what?

We just helped a client house hack a three flat in Little Village.... he purchased it for 300k and leased his first unit out for $1440.
