At 3% interest you’re bearing both inflation and appreciation from the cost side. 9.  

Seems like properties are inflated right now but there are some bargains to be had if you can find them.

@Jay Hinrichs has posted on that in the past.Many people like to try and hide their identity because of the spotlight effect which refers to how people often overestimate how much others notice (or care about) them, effectively inflating their own importance in society. 

To accomplish this, you need an income that outpaces inflation.

This is why many buyers choose to pay cash even if they don't have to as they want their cash to be invested indeed, especially given the current inflation.

The contractor will give you better pricing the more you use them, some GCs increase their price, but those are the ones you would like to not use (side note, of course with inflation you need to pay your people right, but it needs to be reasonable).

To create rental income that enables financial freedom, you need a location that meets specific criteria.Rents increase faster than inflation: Prices and rents are driven by the imbalance between demand and supply.

While I usually think people have the best intentions, as someone working with you for the first time, it is truly hard not to have the thought cross my mind that the pro forma provided by Jennifer Lucero was inflated by Southern Impression Homes simply to make the sale. 

The historical appreciate indicates it will not keep up with inflation and therefore loose value in inflation adjusted dollars.  

I work with OOS investors from similar west coast inflated markets to make some passive income here on great properties!
