Other counties here in NoVA are in the 0.9-1% range.It's possible with rent growth you may be breakeven or positive in 10 years, but I doubt sooner than that.

People with income like these would sooner buy a home than rent.In my case, if I believe a crash is coming I would conserve my cash, and invest in areas with better cash flow.

Its also a live-in flip but it will be sold much sooner than the first flip. 

I guess I may be able to get my beach house at a discount sooner than I thought?  

I always suggest getting more eyeballs on it sooner.

The sooner you start, the better off you'll be.

What areas around the country will be hit the hardest when the next Housing Bubble bursts And when will it happen..Im saying 2 years or sooner

   - repair is typical for an rental occupied property.My view is:  typical for turnkey properties, low performance, defered maintenance that yoiu'll get hit with typically sooner then later. 

That way you pay off both lenders sooner?

You get to set the interest rate (it can be 0%) and you get your investment amount back sooner.
