@Steven CatudalI'm in Birmingham and invest in Birmingham, be careful when choosing properties, the house values can change by street sometimes. 1.

Now having a trust to avoid probate, care for young children or folks not ready to inherit large sums of money yet are very good reasons to have trusts.

Take care and stay safe!

If you care just about positive cash flow (and you don't care about population growth, macroeconomics, or appreciation), definitely go with Cleveland.

Absolutely - East Hill is a really popular area for traveling heath care professionals, as well as military on short term TDY orders who are looking for furnished stays.Keys to success for my condo have been keeping the furniture fresh, and not looking like every other listing out there.

– Considering Class A properties with established tenants• Less focus on appreciation – Prioritizing income stability over potential future gains Current Opportunity: I’m evaluating a retail property in downtown Portland with:• >80% occupancy, most tenants in place for 10+ years• Decent cap rate (6-7%), NNN lease• Well-maintained, high-quality building, with existing HOA which will take care of maintenance. 

Its a lot less headache to file the insurance claim and get this taken care of. 

I don’t believe people or even care about their opinions unless they are acting on them.  

Who cares?

If I live a busy life and don't have the time or care to invest on my own, but want to put, lets say $200k to work, is a 15% cash flow return reasonable?
