I could go into a long rant about gurus, but I've said it all before and it's on BP already, not putting you in a guru status per se.And, I agree, this subject is too complicated to cover the bases in a forum, to do it justice, I'd say you could attend classes for a year and still not touch all aspects of the business, at least at the pace I taught finance at the college level years ago.

Or are they just headed up at a fast pace?

Hello Everyone,As you all may know, the 30 year fixed has pretty much sky rocketed to 4.75% or so.Does anyone know if this will cause prices to drop, continue to increase, but at a slower pace, or flat line?

Im ready to pace myself and grow.

A quick google search reveals Rancho Cucamonga property has appreciated 61% over the last 10 years, so if this trend continues on pace, you'll be looking at about $30,000/yr. appreciation which breaks down to $2,500/mo. profit.

We decided to move into multifamily for several reasons, primarily to accelerate the pace of portfolio building so we could complete the building stage by our early 50s, with the goal of paying off the properties and maximizing cash flow beginning in our early 60s (we’re in our mid-40s now).

Very fast paced at the lower prices ranges so be ready to act quickly and start practicing how to value properties, the neighborhood, and renovations to make a quick decision and get an offer in there.

Your moving at breakneck speed .

Lately what I've noticed is crime rates growing up as well in Madison, a lack of investment in expanding roads, a decision to build a costly stadium instead of addressing the cost of their breakneck pace of population growth.
