Why would anyone put 30% miss housing payment when they were talking about only apartment renters, a very small segment of housing?

Saving $, if putting your $ in the bank = losing $, and real estate investing tends to yield relatively well during recession, especially segment & target specific area/types of real estate imo.I think if you find “good deal” still should stick to your plan, and continue investing in real estate!

I own rental property in Omaha, and in a sense, I'm treating a city of five hundred thousand like a town of twenty-thousand by focusing my investing on two segments of one zip code.My father-in-law lives in a town of five thousand, and his father, at one time, owned eight houses that were occupied by the same families for three decades.

The media pieces rarely show the difficulty associated with the business, choosing instead to always add the standard 'we broke a wall & found this...' segment to their pieces.  

Airbnb’s founder/CEO had a segment on CNBC discussing how travel has changed forever.

So there’s a segment of the market you’ll always miss with that.So for me the clear winner is Zillow.

Whole life insurance just pads the premium rate for the sake of a segment of your life throughout which you will not be requiring life insurance.

However, I think it is an under served segment and a lot of renters have pets. 

I am obsessed with looking at our market segments and the inventory that's available. 

The plan is to subdivide it, charge the tenant who is using part of it, and find new renters for the other segments.
