It will be bumpy, but those of us that have seen this movie before can do well if we don't get stupid.

I know how much each apt can rent and I know each expense.Not only do I know that, I also can very much PREDICT the rental increases and the Expense increases.I have a saying, if you can PREDICT it, you can PROFIT from it.But if you can't predict it, you are shooting blindly in the dark.One of the things about NYC that I absolutely do is examine the major Real Estate Projects in a target area.If there are not at least 3 positive developments, for instance, in the Clinton Hill area where I invested in the above example, there were: 1) Barclay's Stadium and a LOT of other planned buildings called Atlantic Yards2) The rebuilding of the World Trade centers which would have thousands of high paid employees within reach of Clinton Hill3) The Navy Yard, which expanded with billions of investments, including Steiner Movie Studios and a whole bunch of other businessesPLUS A LOT MORE.Then there were the replacement of "poor" stores, like Dollar Stores and others of that nature with Artistic Coffee shops, eventually Starbucks opened.There are so many clues that help you that it is soooooo surprising how I keep hearing from people that you can't predict the future... and yet it slaps you in the face and they still think you can't predict it.I try to tell people that even a squirrel understands how to predict the future otherwise he would starve to death by the time the winter comes and he never buried his nuts where he can get to it!

Cops were happy to help, one of them had gone to high school with the difficult neighbor and had seen the movie before so to speak...

@Immanuel Pierre - real life mentors don't look like the ones you have seen in movies. stop looking for a guy with a beard that tells you what to do while sipping a bourbon.

The single family homes, even the small ones, are very impressive -- they are huge, have pools, their beautiful... and some of the big ones even have cool features like home movie theater rooms.Older construction is available too, outside Championsgate, but nearby.

Most of it though, was spent on STUPID stuff - several visits to casinos to "live large", eating out almost every lunch & dinner, several beauty treatments, buying a bunch of online movies, etc.

Pittsburgh has multiple top tier universities, we have a booming technology center, lots of movies/shows being filmed and studios being built due to tax friendly policies, we have moderate weather due to being out of the Lake Erie snowbelt, we are low-to-medium cost of living, and still have a ton of industry.

. $20k-$30k sounds a bit high for a 2 bed, but every scenario is different, if you have very high value amenities (movie theatre, amazing views, indoor pool, etc.) you may be able to hit those numbers, but you would really have to stick out as one of the best listings in the area.If you can get up to the $700k-$800k range in the Smokies you should be able to find a nice 3 or 4 bed, maybe even with a view.

Raise the rent 30% and market it as an old Cheech and Chong movie set that is fetching a premium.Lemons...Lemonade!
