That would be more than enough for me with a tenant I have a track record with. 6.

These are my personal takeaways:Real estate has been more passive for me.

Competency and Communication are key for me as well as No Hidden Fees.... 

A week ago I received a shelter verification form from DSS for a male individual who I don't know at my apartment.

This increased demand is in areas that all ready have limited supply.Since the rates started to rise, my appreciation forecast has been conservative (as I have indicated in numerous posts) for my San Diego market (I have been underwriting at zero appreciation near term) and fortunately for me the market out performed my forecast.  

I had to borrow the down payment form my parents because I was BROKE. 

Here are the numbers:$30k - avg monthly income3 options for rent vs buying$12.5k - avg monthly payment (20% down) on $2mil home$6.25k - avg monthly rent on $2mil home$6.25k - avg monthly payment (71.5% down) on $2mil home3 options for return on capital:7% - avg yearly return on 71.5% down payment (assuming 5% avg yearly appreciation in SD)10% - avg yearly return on from S&P 500>10% - avg yearly return on investment property (just an assumption, but I think you are all here because you beat the stock market)First, the $12.5k monthly is very intimidating and beyond what I should be spending on shelter (a no-go for me)

Although for me being one a premier client of our title company they would do date downs for me for free and also keep a running spread sheet for me.

Furthermore, if anyone knows of a third party that provides the data or is interested in periodically gathering the data for me from the county courthouse (for a monetary reward), please reach out.

Haha yeah this is what real estate deals usually look like for me, but awesome that you came out ahead!
