We are talking about something very different.His basic complaints are 2 fold. 1) Most people invest their 401K funds in mutual funds which pay tax and have fees and expenses and have market risk..This is irrelevant to our discussion.

I am no expert and don't work in the RE industry in any capacity, but it is an interest and I have a few close friends in the fold that do it for a living and, from talking with them, I'm agreeing with Hanna about how we might be topping out and the market doesn't likely have much more appreciation in store.

See:http://bit.ly/2tfW55hAn attic ladder makes for a safe and stable way to get up and down from the top bunk and conveniently folds out of the way during the day. 

I can just see it amplified ten fold in these other tenant friendly states.Do you build in very high lost rents and repairs for expected issues when buying there or do you set rents at the low end of the market to train the tenants you are the best deal in town??

@Naveen Desai My goal is really 2-fold.

Have I received more than I paid - 10 fold. 

Most investors are always open to new sources for investment opportunities.Once this is up and running, perhaps consider making a tri-fold 8-1/2x11 handout sheet.

Jeff S - This is what I'm hearing from real estate investors in our fold, not from any real, legitimate sources.

Just think if you keep folding that money over till your age 65, and then your $539,000 monthly income, becomes $1,078,000 monthly income!

Would there be enough room on the wall where the fridge is now for a small wall mounted fold up/down table?
