Days on market is about 2 months, slightly better than earlier this year but relatively speaking, it's still a more balanced market compared to rest of the Bay Area.

I’ve been concentrating more on the Indy market and I’m happy to compare notes if you’d like.

There are many variables that increase real estate returns and they are rarely addressed when comparing it to the stock market.

Use tools like Zillow, Rentometer, and local real estate listings to compare prices and rents.

The downside is that my profits are severely restricted compared to outside syndications. 

I don't have experience with the Detroit Land Bank, but generally land banks are pretty reliable, but...they are low money buys (from $1 to $1,000) that require you to show proof of funds for the rehab.

It's been a struggle for myself to find a reliable one. 

Negative it’s rather complicated as compared to other real estate investments.

Be sure to run numbers with both a local lender and a national one to compare terms-sometimes smaller local firms can surprise you.HOAs: Brickell condos often have HOA fees, which can eat into your cash flow.

The second habit that has helped me track my finances is that I’ve created a personal spreadsheet that I fill out at least once a month that tracks certain financial metrics I’m interested in comparing.
