That only confirmed what we were hearing from investors and end-users alike: they lost that loving feeling for being in a crowded, high-rent-with-no-cash flow, high-risk for health, safety, rioting and ever-increasing violence-prone areas.

Second, it assumes no financial hiccups in your market like a major employer leaving town, an economic downturn, a labor strike, riots (yes, that's legit....as we know all too well), etc.Third, is assumes no hiccups in your personal life: the death of a spouse or child, a severe accident, an unexpected illness, and the like.Fourth, it assumes you have a series of deals that are "big enough" to accomplish your goals. 

I have recently acquired my first duplex on Park Ave adjacent to Lake Street where there is quite a bit of destruction from the recent riots in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
