@Sam Wydner The 1% rule doesn't apply in most major American metropolitans with population and job growth.

The greater Miami area has much more room to run, but South Beach in particular is built-out.In my opinion, you can't go wrong buying on the Beach, as demand is strong for a variety of factors (seasonal US demand, year-round European demand, and structural economical influences in South America).Let me know if you'd like to talk through it; in the meantime, good luck.Jason

I have some in the paper asset stock funds as well and I do like the liquidity there, but my RE doesn't take a hit every time congress holds us hostage, Janet Yellen toots, Russia invades somebody, a terrorism threat appears, China or European growth slows...

I have found: class A properties have lots of newer European carsclass B properties have lots of new Japanese/Korean carsclass C properties have lots of trucksclass D properties have lots of POS vehicles.I adjust +/- based upon the mix of the different levels and ages of cars in the neighborhood.I am not saying that the car makes the person, but it is a pretty simple matrix when doing a first evaluation of a property.
