I currently have this property under contract, expected to close within 3 weeks.

The whole ecosystem (and trades) is valued at hundreds of billions, but most participants bought in at well below 1/10000th of current prices. 

Value: I am paying current market value. 

Quote from @Matthew Orr: I am currently under contract with a wholesale deal that was to close on Monday.

I currently live in New Britain, 06051, but prefer the other end of town closer to Central CT State University, 06053.

The current one lasted 8 years and needs to be replaced (as per what our property manager is saying)I heard front loaders could leak, so I typically only do top loaders for rentals.

We both live in MI and my current plan is to invest in single- and multi-family in solid, path-of-progress neighborhoods in metro Detroit, and also get some larger SFH's in the more expensive market where we live and do rent-by-the-room/co-living.

Congrats on your success so far.Some random thoughts for you:- It might be difficult to tap the equity in the rental at this time given the current state of interest rates. 

Sorry, have not been on in a while - I did not attend the event and currently have decided not to pursue RAL and focus on our single family and multifamily properties.

Buyers usually want to purchase on today’s value while sellers often want to use future potential of the property (“current rents are below market” or “room to build an additional property”, etc) to increase the purchase price or likelihood of a sale.
