Cash flow is artificially increased only by reducing interest payments on the mortgage.

I'm preparing for a radio interview today with a company that does chatbots for real estate. I know several investors using custom-built software for tracking and offer writing, they use CRM and other technology for l...

The retirees are getting hit hard with this artificially low rates.

It sits right next to a high end park with several football and soccer fields; all built with artificial turf.

I have no issue with good wholesalers or good agents/brokers, simply pointing out that licensing is an artificially created status created to generate revenue and control for the licensing authority.

So if they had set aside 45.8 trillion in 2009 the money plus interest would fund the programs, but now we are running deficits each year, and the funding obligations are getting larger, plus we do not have the interest helping us (remember time value of money growing for you) so the yearly requirement is going to increase over time.Basically, we have so much debt that if the entire GDP for a year was used to pay the debt it would just pay it off (not after this year) and future obligations cannot be met.And this is with interest rates at historic lows (artificial lows).

All I'd do is say for a $1000 rent I would say one place has $200 in vacancy and the other has $50 in vacancy then I'd artificially say that all the other expense for the first place adds up to $300 and for the 2nd $450 since my assumption is that NOI is 50% of gross rent.If you are figuring your other percentages after accounting for vacancy that is fine, but that isn't using the 50% rule.

How’s about artificial grass?

People are selling these "starter" homes for $80K with multiple cash offers stuff selling for $110K, these cash buyers are investors who are late to the party in many ways, but completely crowding out the run of mill working family.Its creating locally it sees an artificial price floor for owner-occupied housing.
