I'm so glad we have BiggerPockets to bounce ideas around.

Yes, the appreciation, although I did not want to mention it since it is pure speculation, but yes, the area seems to be going up steadily, with a projected growth 6.2% next year, and seems to have been that way for a while (including the bounce back time or course).

You never, ever have to worry about NOT getting paid, or about a check bouncing, or being paid late.

Not only does it give you a better rate than going straight to a larger carrier, the agent becomes a knowledgeable part of your team that can educate you and bounce questions off of.  

I have no idea what you do in REI nor do I particularly care as I have found many experienced and positive investors on BP who are willing to answer questions, give advice, or even allow me to bounce ideas off them and they more than make up for anything I could ever learn from investors like yourself.  

Last thing we want to see is another investor burned in a deal, had a contractor bounce on them after payment, etc. 

I'd love to pick their brain and bounce ideas off them.

I have run numbers inside and out and it seems like a good deal if I can get the seller to come down on the price but I thought I would bounce it off the group for comment.Details5 unit ( all 2BD/1.5bath)List price 419kRent Roll - $850 / unit or 51k YRVac.

I like that you brought in a partner, I found that my decisions were made quicker and better when I had a quality person to bounce them off of at any time.

The cheques they gave us has bounced on us 3 times.
