Being from the Midwest I'm a fan of KC and Indiana - fun fact, Indianapolis has had nearly 40 yrs of steady rent growth.

SelfStorages.com is also another good site, and I frequently post on SelfStorageTalk but I have NEVER found a deal worth buying that anyone has ever discussed.The very best deals that we and our students find are by sending our targeted, direct mail to owners (that's pulling approximately 6%), and through the 65+ Small business Broker sites.

@Calvin HaywardReal estate agents frequently provide closing presents to purchasers and vendors as a signal of gratitude and celebration of a thriving deal.

There are some extended form policies that might cover a future forged deed, but they cost extra and since title fraud (not theft since you can't lose title based on a forged deed) is uncommon, they're not issued frequently.

This will frequently cause the insurance cost to go down like crazy. 

Important emails unfortunately go to my spam folder frequently, so I have to check it regularly. 

Hi Aubrey,We have a couple of rentals in Palatka, and I'm a big fan of that market.

I am not a big fan of this unless you can earn good money on the cash you pull out; and it makes things a bit illiquid.Conversely... paying off a real estate loan feels good, but at the same time getting cash out of a house that is paid for is not necessarily hard but can be a pain.At times I suggest that people run parallel for a bit... have your cash sitting somewhere earning 5-6% and have your loan charging you 5-6% (or less or more, I know, but...).

In order to make it worth her while you will have to answer both questions to her satisfaction.To answer the first issue of not being real to her, I use a tool I call flash cash.I will bring 1-5k with me in $100 bills and when overcoming her first objection, “I don’t want anything to do with it,” I will fan out the cash like a deck of cards and say, “I know this doesn’t feel real to you, but I am actually here to give this to you.”

I see your city mentioned frequently as a great place to invest.
