However, in saying this its all about timing, not time in the market... that's my personal experience, but we all have different strategies that can work.Atlanta started in 2011 and still hold properties here, buying at rock bottom in bread and butter areas, not war zones.

If you look at the very bottom line, the results are remarkably different.

Although I understand many of the points about "he may be completely safe and a good tenant", the bottom line for me is that at the end of the day, I don't want people like this associated with my life in any way shape or form..... don't need the anxiety or stress....If someone else wants to be the saint and help this guy out, then that's your choice and more power to you..... for people like this, that just isn't me....I don't want to have anything to do with you.... not on a personal or professional level.... you can be someone else's problemIts one thing to have a criminal record and throw them some sympathy and help them out....for me its a whole other deal to give someone the benefit of the doubt and help them out when they are a repeat child sex offender.

When adding an analysis, one must keep clicking NEXT STEP at the bottom of the pages to get to the next step. 

This is why I always recommend using an Independent Agent that has the best interest of the customer at heart, not the best interest of the companies bottom line. 

Here in Cleveland that consists of an apartment on the bottom and an apartment above that. 

What you don't want to have happen is you get the perfectly-appraised property and then the bottom falls out of the city it's in and the values go into the trash and you can't recover (different than a general real estate crash, because those tanked values will come back up...just don't sell while they are down).All the while, have that steady cash flow in place. 

I am a stay-at-home mom and I'm ready to work my bottom off to learn! 

One big pissing contest...Bottom line is that nobody wants to see their portfolio down 40 or 50 percent, even if they represent only paper losses.

Bottom line, it has been a fear since they attached a wheel to a cart and replaced the people carrying stuff.
