who is thinking along these lines: if you are looking at properties 4 hours away you might as well expand your horizons to the entire continental US.

But if the economy there is on the upturn and there are some scheduled improvements on the horizon by the city it might be worth a look. 

PPR is an excellent resource although they have historically specialized in 2nd position debt, so if you are looking for education on 1st position debt investing, you may want to expand your horizon.

If you already own a park and are looking for ways to cut expenses and pump up revenue, you're bound to learn something and make it worthwhile if the presenters are experts on running mobile home parks.If the point of someone's boot camp is that participants are buying their way into a network with the promise of deals on the horizon, I'm less thrilled about that.

Plus, stocks aren't really meant for short time-horizons like a year. 

Hi @Helen Fradette, Your savings rate will depend on your NET income, expenses, goals, and investment horizon.

I think 5 years is just about right for a time horizon to sell a property- If you purchased with a 3.5-4.5% full loan via the usual suspects, you can usually refinance for a lower rate within a few years to increase your cash flow.- If you put money down for a sub-2% rate, you're probably sitting pretty with cash flow anyway - why sell?

It's a psychological jump to see your life as limited and horizons as shorter term.

Ones of the horizon if not already enacted in some areas are sexual orientation, veteran status, and ultimately genetic information.Basically just treat everyone the same.

My goal at the moment is not property appreciation mostly because I think that today's macro-economic RE environment is deflationary and will remain so for another year at least (which is my time-horizon for a purchase).
