If you have questions regarding real estate investing, property management, or just want to talk shop... hit me up. 

I think what you all might have forgotten is that these brokers/agents are showing you the PROJECTED NOI/CASHFLOW.The company I work for, they get a financials for a shopping center from a broker and then we ask the landlord their actual financials produced from their SYSTEM.i have to make the comparison and to also create a proforma budget and compared that to the BROKER'S proforma.

I thought if I sold some of these, park the $$$ in the bank and then go "shopping" again and buy 2 for 1 once the house values go down.

I do agree that starting with lower valued properties lowers the barrier to entry and lowers the potential loss amounts in some fashion.

I always enjoy talking shop with fellow investors in the area.

They were both charming and hospitable--I had a blast talking shop with the big boys/girls!
