Mostly because Portland got a bit hammered by the dot.com crash.

I have made pretty substantial income (over million in a year) in a different industry several yrs ago but it all crashed (guess I was stupid enough to think it would go on for ever, livin large).

I agree with this 100% Buying enough SFR's to obtain $1M in annual cash flow is working very hard, I would prefer to buy 1 or 2 100 unit apartment buildings to arrive at the same income stream but less work and working smarter.

I sold my last rental (a duplex) just before the crash/recession (lucky me) and stayed out due to how frothy the market was.

Put all those numbers into a blender and you should arrive at a "smoothie" that's pretty darn close to what you can expect for rent.

I'm trying to run the numbers in order to make my offer, but I'm having a hard time finding comps and arriving at an educated offer price.

As far as December payment i will pay you the 1800 but I asked you before if i can do it when i get back from my trip from Singapore on the 3rd and you had agreed to it As long as i have it in your account before the 5th and its okay, i will be in chicago Dec 3rd arriving at Midway at 8.00 p.m and the banks are close by then so i can deposit it on Monday early morning.

What percentage of your REI investments were purchased pre-bubble (before 2006) and after the crash (after 2006)?

I'd like to be able to just set reminders for "home depot" then have them pop up when I arrive at any of them.A bit better integration would be helpful, too.

The house in this market would be 135-140k - what would you offer as residence or two rent and hold..How did you arrive at this..?
