I'm slow but can be taught) @Rick Clatfelter I'm disappointed that you cannot come up with numbers you believe in enough to post on your website, or to post here.

I think anything over $895 in 38118 is asking for disappointment down the road, but even at Dean's price of $65,000, even a rent of $850 is good.

I can be sympathetic and understanding to the seller's disappointment.

Hanging around in a deal after their target IRR is achieved only risks missing it and disappointing their investors who wouldn't be inclined to reinvest.

I promise you will nit be disappointed either.

after a little analysis paralysis, a little disappointment, and a lot of searching, I think I'm finally ready to get my first rental property.

So building that 'retail buyers' list' is a bit more of the double edged sword, because yes, you are going to disappoint them when they call, but you have someone on the line who can give you their criteria and then you can go find it for them, and if you keep using the same ad, they aren't going to call back on the same ad, after they've spoken to you.

I'd have been disappointed to show up the first day & him not be there.

I told my sister that the real estate investors on BiggerPockets would come through with some really good information, and you guys didn't disappoint!

If you check this out be aware that it takes a little while for it to load so wait 60 seconds or so and you will see some really disappointing numbers.http://www.usdebtclock.org
