I'm of the opinion that cheap debt on cashflow producing properties is the best hedge against inflation and therefore it is a good time to evaluate your equity in each property and whether or not to apply more leverage.

Most of the LOI's and Offers being produced these days look like Ernie and Bert wrote them.

You can flip when you need to produce cash to buy properties cash or fund additional rentals.

Raise the money and then cash everyone out in 3-5 years when it is up and running and producing your target returns. 

They supposedly have been living somewhere for 1 year and produced a letter from their landlord singing their praises of what great tenants they are  (which we all know anyone could have written). 

But something must have happened in the market to change the returns DSTs are producing.

What do you think the best possible experience an investor can have that reduces the "sifting through sooo much information" problem, quickly plugs them into a model such as one you've built and ultimately produces a transaction? 

If you are producing "real" cashflow of 200 per month, this should already have vacancy, capx, and maintenance factored into which indicates that there should be reserves and accounts created that will pay for these eventual problems. 

I was tending to make decisions based on how much “net income” was produced rather than increases in my wealth, or estate value.  

I can consider being a little more aggressive with a 401K as I have a defined benefit vested pension as well.Personally I wouldn't do it for a flip, but would consider it for a dividend producing (i.e rental income) property I would hold.I also wouldn't cash the whole thing out.
