This period, from the GFC to let’s call it 2009-2018, was pretty sweet.

@Matt Hoferthere's a difference between "buying a bad deal because 2016 brandon turner said to buy anything and get sweet cash flow" and "sitting on the sidelines."  

Sorry, VERY wrong again. the most sought after individual's for lawsuits. the sweet spot are your average investors (neighborhood millionaire) {contractor, lawyer, doctor, nurse, etc) who just turned the corners with assets, of 1 million to 3 million who now has tons to loose from just the threat of a lawsuit let alone an actual judgment.

I target the sweet spot, property that has a better chance of not redeeming (vacant or abandoned or in need or lots of repairs) but it has to still be worth it.

They are so sweet, I've made a few offers recently, trying to get back into buying more!

Sweet deal right?

I will eventually buy in the Columbus market but for now, I found a sweet spot. 

Where I am you would have a sweet deal if you got a cap rate of 7%, $94k per door is a sweet deal. 

Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $150-$300/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B- These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

, etc. to get to that sweet spot in the leverage math that makes sense.
