v=AFIxi7BiScIA video from DW TV about Wealth people and middle class - pay attention to the super wealth real estate investor, immediately I turn a fan of that "monster" .. watch the video.my name is Thiago Zanetti (TZ is fine since no american I met yet can say Thiago correctly :D )I have been listening to the podcasts daily, reading some books, doing some researches online.In 2000 something my father gave me Rich Dad Poor Dad, that consolidated my idea of starting a business.I own Fly Shop Brasil - Brazil's premier fly fishing shop.Ok, that's my introduction. 

I found something called Section 8 housing which can be very bad for investors if tenants are not screened properly I understand even with proper screening you will still get bad apples.

It was the Rylee Anne's that were offering 2 months free + a tv to entice renters while my b class rents skyrocketed. 

I know, I know, don’t believe anything you see on TV is what they say.

Do your research, start with rentometer.com then check local listings, make sure to compare apples to apples.

Let's try and bringing it to an apple-to-apple comparison.

Duplexes in Taylor, Texas (40 min from downtown Austin and less to the Domain, Round Rock, and major employers like Apple, Dell, Samsung, and others) run as low as $150,000.

If you live in Orange County you look to Riverside to invest, if you live in Riverside you look to Apple Valley, if you live in Apple Valley you look to Bakersfield or Texas or Ohio. 

So when you see one of us say “consult your tax pro” or “you should get a CPA involved”, we are not soliciting for service, we are both protecting ourselves and trying to protect you as well.Hope this shines a light on part of the discussions.I'm not sure this is an apples to apples comparison.

Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.Counting on rent increases to make the numbers work can be risky.
