I would not be posting or boasting about this... 

I ran into an architect renovating a house that used to belong to a family I knew as a kid and he popped the top and did an ultra modern renovation on it now worth $750k!

We boast small city property pricing with big city rental income,  and comfortably meet the 1% rule with plenty of built in equity left over. 

As an example, the ultra-lux area in NYC has seen price compression due to issues related to the foreign buyers that were buying these properties.

Thanks everyone for the ultra-fast responses!

Trust me, my intention is in no way to be or appear boastful, but simple to encourage that, while deal flow is difficult, you always have and always will have the power to network yourself, which will prove extremely fruitful in your REI endeavor.

So I have a few questions the ultra knowledgeable nation of BP.1.

I'm talking about neighborhoods that have elementary, middle, AND high school ranking 8 out of 10 or higher.It seems to me that ultra high ranked schools in the 8 - 10 range on GreatSchools seem to have a nearly 100% correlation toward the neighborhood quality and the desirability for people to move in, and tends to generally remain a high ranking school (except in extreme cases).

Everyone needs to reset your BS meter, the ones to watch out for are those that boast of making money or imply $50,000 in profits as if that's a normal day, easy or to be expected.First thing they want is your attention, money chatter seems to be what they think is necessary to do that.

As an anecdote, I was once recruited for this team that boasted they had over 200 listings on this island down here in Southwest Florida.
