This benefits Wall Street brokerages but diminishes your returns.Now let's talk about the myth of QRPs.

I personally look for areas where it will cashflow somewhat, but there's been an uptrend in job growth, more establishments coming in where people spend their discretionary income, and areas where the township/county/city HAS WRITTEN PLANS of changing a specific area, because cashflow alone diminishes your ability to grow exponentially and scale. 

The sweet spot is probably the $1000-$1200 range, above which there are diminishing returns in the amount of rent you can charge for higher quality homes.Most foreclosures in the $60-$80k range you could probably get between $850-$950/mo, but as an investor you obviously can't pay more than makes sense with the numbers.  

From my experience pulling out the cash on the property diminishes the cash flow and your DTI ratio become higher. 

As soon as I started enforcing the rules of the lease my property management headache diminished greatly. 

There is an economic term called diminishing marginal rate of return.

Diminishing SensitivityInvestors' sensitivity to gains and losses in real estate can diminish as the magnitude of the investment increases.

I did some scenario but I can't figure it out.When I was looking to sell I also looked at how much the cash flow per year vs. how much I will get now by selling. selling now is the better option in term of cash flow.But,' I'm afraid to diminish my portfolio by selling. and looking at the comps I will need to buy properties under $100k to at least compare with what I have now. is a dilemma. 

It's easy to lose sight of the privilege we have, and it's easy to diminish other people's lack thereof.  

I'm also doing direct mail, but that has had some major diminishing returns lately.
