I received this recommendation from an insurance company for a set of properties the management company I work for helps take care of.This is a device that hangs over a vent hood and has sort of a fuse that a stove top fire will set off to drop fire suppressant and protect both your property and people inside.  

I identified three different categories of investors - (1) Investors with no capital or desire to invest in multifamily/real estate (2) Working professionals (doctors, lawyers, techies) with an appetite to invest and working capital but do not have real estate expertise (3) Deal makers/Investors who want control - Either those who are actively putting deals together and operate in the general partnership or investors who want control and active management of the day to day decisions regarding the asset and investment strategy. 

I'd see it as a question of appetite for risk.

Hence, the observed market price of houses is suppressed and the only way to fix it is to have a disproportionally large number of buyers come out of pocket with extra cash at closing, not likely in the short term.

. - maybe I'll try that first.A favorite realtor trick for open houses is to bake some chocolate chip cookies - but then again I don't want to ruin my appetite for chocolate chip cookies.

If you and your investors have the appetite for risk to buy in south america, eastern Europe of the middle east there is a strong chance you could double, but I also feel most of those areas are unstable and the 'rules' that make America such a safe investment are much looser in those areas. 

Then again we all have different appetites for risk.

So even though Justin and I could live down the street from each other (not likely with my crazy hypothetical income disparity, but you get the point) we might have extremely different preferences on the usefulness of cash-flow, appetite or debt, appetite for risk, etc.  

If you have an infinite amount of money behind you and can afford to take big risks, and have that appetite, then it could work well for you, and then you may really be in a position to quit your job.Apartments can also be very capital intensive during the course of holding them.

well I subscribed to bigger pockets in 2012 can't believe it's been that long ago..but been to busy well it's 2015 and I forgot to post that in March I purchased a 4unit building and from reading my profile it's seems that I'm on my way  now I'm looking at a 6unit building it seems that my appetite is getting larger  but good deals are scarce so it's time to amp up the sales techniques and start to diversify my thinking.
