would you sell your car to someone without a deposit who promises to pay for it in a couple of weeks?

@Elizabeth RothInvesting in real estate in Ohio and Upstate NY can be a promising venture, especially if you're looking for more affordable markets compared to San Diego.

We haven't had many squatter issues in KC with the exception of people drilling out our locks and then putting up fake ads and falsely renting to someone (real cheap, no background check, move in the same day type thing).

Such a situation would result in a much higher ROI.Beware that some developers are offering what I call fake financing.

But I haven't said anything because I don't wanna make any promises until the refinance comes through and until I get your guys' thoughts.

., but it is not looking too promising. 

The plan is to gradually expand my portfolio, incorporating mid-term rentals and beyond.I'm thrilled about connecting with all of you, and if there's ever an opportunity for me to assist you on your journey, please don't hesitate to reach out.Cheers to a promising journey ahead!

@Nathan GesnerI am waiting for people to start creating fake car leases and run around stealing cars.

I can promise that values in my neighborhood didn't increase anything more than trivially during this time period (they probably didn't increase at all), and the second one is a realistic upper bound for what I would expect the value of my neighbor's property to be.You'll notice some big differences (aside from the fact that they used different comps).

Research local economies, population trends, job growth, and infrastructure developments to identify promising markets.
