Kind of like the latest diet pill will melt pounds off your butt.

SFR's are harder to control as they are more spread out.Taxes and maintenance tend to be higher on a per unit basis compared to multifamily 5 units or more.The Dallas market is healthier than many other parts of the country.With SFR's the renter usually gets more space for the money.Also the SFR will usually appreciate at a higher clip per unit once the economy turns around versus multifamily 5 or more.If there is low housing supply and permits for new builds versus more demand for housing then rents will go up.I believe many potential tenants don't see purchasing a house as a smart move in some markets so they just want to rent and let someone else handle the upkeep.I would just make sure that as inflation and commodity cost rises that your SFR are not to far away from the core.There will be in the future a wave of more intown living to reduce waste and cost of living since wages have pretty much remained stagnant.

Truth is, I've identified sources that boil it down and I get most of my news in under three hours a week.In fact, this post has inspired me to do a Tim Ferriss LID (Low Information Diet) again.

I think there are just as many "portfolios" to mimic as there are fad diets or exercise routines out there.Of course, I haven't even gone into individual stocks, ETFs, etc.With real estate, the rules of thumb are pretty simple.

You could have the greatest problem solving product in the world, a pill that supplies complete benefits of dieting and excersizing, but if no one ever knows about it then its no good.Third, One person suggested $600 annual fee for seminars and if they do not pay they are not serious about investing.

Or better yet, tell you to drastically change your diet (organic, low sodium, sugar, etc.) and exercise?

I'm more focused on what I do, more motivated to do it, more patient with clients & prospects, all my relationships both personal & professional improve, I sleep better, wake up easier, eat healthier. 30-60 mins/day of physical exercise make a BIG difference for me one way or the other.

[[[.....there will be more tenants and fewer owners....]]]]And a healthier economy.

I improved my diet starting March 1, now the major portion of my meal is bulk bought beans, grains, veggies, home cooked.

They advertise a special diet program to offset all those yo-yo diets.
