I've been married to my beautiful wife Elisa for four years now.

They are in a beautiful old west side neighborhood with gorgeous homes and tree-lined streets, but two blocks from the stadium, so people can walk to the game and not have to mess with the traffic.

Below are 2 of my buildings followed by 2 that are on the market in nearby towns right now:My building 1 (value of about 350k) : 4  2-bed unitsGOI = 52kcosts = 19kNOI = 33kmortgage(25 year): 25% down, 14k/yearCap= 9.4%CCR = 22%DSCR = 2.4BER = 63%My building 2 (value of about 325k) : 4 2-bed unitsGOI = 46kcosts = 17kNOI = 29kmortgage(25 year): 25% down, 12k/yearCap= 9%CCR = 21%DSCR = 2.4BER = 63%building for sale 1(asking 500k): 4 2-bed unitsGOI = 41kcosts = 7k (building is quite new, needs no work)NOI = 34kEstimate:: mortgage(25 year): 25% down, 20k/yearCap= 6.8%CCR = 9.6%DSCR = 1.7BER = 66%building for sale 2(asking 650k): 4 2-bed unitsGOI = 56.4kcosts = 10k (building is quite new, needs no work)NOI = 46.6kEstimate:: mortgage(25 year): 25% down, 24k/yearCap= 7.1%CCR = 13.6%DSCR = 1.9BER = 60%Both these buildings seem overpriced but for years I've witnessed many such buildings sell at similar prices, so these are market prices.

And I try to focus on how blessed we are to have such a beautiful, healthy child when frustration mounts!

That is one of the beauties of OPM. your personal investment (the"I")  is down.

It's beautiful up there where your from.

I also like your video tour of the beautiful homes and optional floorplans.

Ft Myers was beautiful (this was probably 15 years ago), and Houston was definitely  growing (2 years ago).I'm biased toward Raleigh because I definitely think it's a great place to own property and invest.
