In my area, I don't personally believe housing prices are going to drop, and with the ultra-low rates, I have a goal to pick up 2 new properties this year.

When I did my own management, I was sure to make it ultra clear to the tenants what constituted an emergency and what did not.  

I would never invest for a 5% return although ultra conservative investors are more than happy to see 5%.

Many of the people living on the streets in Seattle are doing that by choice,Just like you mentioned.The ultra liberal mindset of letting people do whatever they want, including heroin in the parks where my kids used to play (I have since left seattle for Mercer Island where we don’t put up with that kind of sh*t) has turned seattle into the dump that it is.

Likely a large group will be those with minimal incomes not the ultra wealthy.

For most of us owning a home makes good financial sense compared to renting:- ultra low rates- tax write off- exempt from captial gains - 500k, married- principal pay down, equity- appreciation- potential for a HELOC (if you BRRRR rentals with cash for example)Rent is just a consumer expense, gone.

@Adam VadnaisI always get the ultra basic models, but with a stainless façade.

And syndications and reits are ultra passive, like watching paint dry.

Thanks  for sharing.i believe doing the numbers increases chances of getting ultra bargainsWell done
