Originally posted by Account Closed You should have come to the last East Bay Sunday meetup, it was all about OOS, but the presenter shared that cool litmus test above (where you invest passes with flying colors btw) that kind of guts the standard "turnkey provider" model.Another market not far off, Stockton, same test as above - steady income (rent increases will likely at least track with inflation, if you zoom out to the 10 yr horizon), gradually increasing population (a driver of asset/home appreciation, 10 yr horizon), 2-4 unit properties still affordable.Do it for Oakland and obviously you will see incomes through the roof, population gradually increasing, but sticking point will be the prices present a barrier to entry that not everyone will be able to handle. 

I am going out to look for some kids with a drivers license right now!

Demand does not always increase but in general, prices rise as demand increases and prices decrease as supply increases, and vice versa.Interest rates are actually one of the main drivers of price, as they have a direct impact on purchasing power.

I was just involved in a $10M deal where the driver of the deal did not have money in the deal.  

It is only a matter of time before the resident default to previous parking habits so I would recommend putting in lines as the long term solution because drivers are conditioned to park inside painted lines.

Did you ever think that the seller was mad because you were wasting his time and possibly he could of been losing out a deal he could of had going which you spoiled or made him look unprofessional by your delayed closing?  

Very much looking forward to being a part of the madness that is real estate investing, as well as being a part of the forums here and learning from all the experienced members.

EX: Hotels, trendy restaurants, and other key drivers that are responsible for the slow gentrification that we are seeing now.

Welcome to the madness!
