The S&P 500 did 6.9% in the last 10 years, so it's a wiser play assuming rents don't go down, which they haven't in Boston for a long time (excluding luxury and ultra-luxury condos, which there are too many of right now, and my place is not a luxury condo).

Unless you plan on being ULTRA conservative.

Classic charm neighborhoods with high end values (at least to KC terms)As for the Silicon Prairie, I follow this quite a bit and have pretty good confidence in the Fiber-hood taking hold (Google's first internet service provider city is KC) with ultra-fast internet.  

It is Valspar Ultra 2000 satin from Lowes, I have to double check on the exact color.

Hey all,Figured I'd share a deal I got on allure ultra.

We are ultra conservative and have passed up many properties based on the calculations.Our questions/concerns/fears are:Are we missing anything?

Leveraging that amount of cash to buy SFHs or small multis in favorable cash flow areas could allow the buyer to accumulate maybe $15M worth of props, and cash on cash returns north of 10%. 3) The better returns in LA with that kind of money are the ultra high end flips.

If you are trying to achieve and ultra low cap rate that tends to be a 1031 buyer.Buyers with cash sitting around tend to want more yield to deploy otherwise they are happy making small deals and keep churning the money until the right property comes along.

I have had some nice ultra "experienced" investor friends/family that forgot how failure got them to the next huge place in their life.  

In reality this would be my first investment purchase so my actual numbers will be ultra-conservative.
