They left him for dead and he suffered permanent brain damage.Another time, we had a cleaning person performing her regular weekly duties in a laundry room of a 20 plus unit property, she was attacked and raped.I personally, when working maintenance years ago, was on a ladder in the common hallway replacing a fixture when a teen pulls a knife and demands money.

I say this, because we are in unprecedented times, and no one knows how things are going to play out- whether the U.S. economy gets Volcker'ed and interest rates get pushed into the teens (personally I don't think that will happen, this is just for illustration purposes) and eventually brings inflation down to the target 2% we were used to, or the Fed eases us into a new normal of 4% from here on out, the havoc it could potentially wreak on the economy in the process either way and the effects this will have on the investing landscape. 

Slow and steady is not sexy, but it's almost guaranteed to have success in RE long term (almost :)).

Some tease me about it not being "sexy".

When I was in my teens, so it's been a minute, I used to caulk log homes as part of my job.

I'm not in NC, @William Boeklen, but I like to see $150-200/month/unit in cash flow and a CoC ROI in the mid-teens or better.

Earning 2% at ally might not seem too sexy compared to a vanguard fund ..but it’s better than .002 % in your local banks savings account .

But nevertheless Richmond is one of the lowest price, most working class, non sexy areas of the Bay.

The oldest is 37 and special needs, then I have two teens and a 7 week old baby I just adopted. 

Think mid/ upper teen's +.
