Indy's population growth between April 2010 through July 2018 was 5.7% which is a healthy growth rate.

So my parents are separated in age by 14 years and my father's health is declining a little more rapidly than expected. 

Personally, I like to watch inventory over the 200k mark because I think it's a very healthy way to track the market.

Condo sales throughout the island have also remained healthy. 

@Tyler Brown,It sounds like your focus is on cash flow and your pretax return, but I would encourage you to look at your total return and consider the other benefits that real estate has to offer: amortization (not applicable with no debt), tax shelter (depreciation and deductions), appreciation (around 8% based on those numbers), and cash flow.Appreciation is very healthy based on the numbers you provided.

That’s a healthy rehab number.  

I think sharing failures, as well as success in real estate, is a healthy practice and if anyone wants to share a story of how you failed into success, let's talk! 

Looking at the chart this seems far from healthy.

It is called The Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise Podcast - check it out here: https://www.healthywealthyandw...I talk to real estate investors & entrepreneurs, cover personal finance, and I even talk about archery (the new thing I am learning) and the things that financial freedom can allow you to do.

You might have 8 months of collecting "profit" and then have one bad incident that demands all of that "profit" and drives you a couple thousand more into the red.On a property that's generating a healthy $500-$700+ profit a month, I'd either be driving it back into the property to fix any immediate cap ex threats or saving half for a future investment, and half for padding the emergency bank account
