@Dakota Hicks - You increased the PM but did not change the water/sewer to a monthly expense, thus inflating your expenses/reducing your NOI.  

@Marc Roth Depends, if you are talking about rental market,then I can see it rising a bit since the fed is trying to match inflation, yet wage increase hasn't caught up.

As long as I continue to work at my current company until March 1st, 2019 when my company pension benefit will be mostly maxed out.1) 401K @ 6% nominal, 2.91% real in year 2035 would be ~ 1 Million nominal, 600K real.2) HSA with same returns as above but at 65 years old would be 25K nominal, 13K real.3) Pension schedule If I work at my current place of employment until March 1st, 2019 tentatively as follows - start withdrawals at age:a) 50 ~ $959.00  b) 55 ~ $1,316.00c) 60 ~  $1,880.00This would be a fixed index annuity, not inflation adjusted.  

@Jason LintSome folks love having one payment and one set of closing costs (even though they will be inflated doing that many properties).I have done blanket/portfolio loans, but most times, people decide to do them as separate transactions. 

Inflation, wage gaps, debt, etc. are not keeping up like they should be which shows a sign that the economy is overheating (its a global thing).

He will buy them at the inflated price for cash creating 2 new comps for my remaining 5 condos. 

I choose not to buy in California for several reasons (taxes being one) and inflated prices as you mention. 

no mention to the risk  cap ex anything else.. he called it 4 walls and a roof.. along with making statements that D class renters were better renters than A class because they appreciated a home more.. etc etc.. you simply cant fight that person that does not know what they don't know and for whatever reason in America right now no one wants a JOB they all want to be landlords that live off of their so called passive income  LOL.. can it happen sure does it well it can for locals in those assets.. and its a nice hedge against inflation.. but buying D class is to invest in areas of extreme instability.

It's alright for me right now because I need to be getting some kind of yield on my savings to stave off inflation.

Anyway, it's low initial investment, you get to live for free, your tenants are literally buying you a duplex/ triplex/ quadplex by paying down your loan, you are able to write off the deprecation of the property from your income+ other tax advantages, you can potentially be cash-flowing on top of living free from day one (if not you will down the line if you move out and rent your unit) and you will potentially see appreciation based solely on inflation or market trends depending on the specific location of the property or you can force appreciation by fixing up the property.
