For us it's not about the Title company, it's the attorney, who's innovative.  

What I think is nice about REI compared to stocks is the catalysts that make a REI a good risk/reward investment are way more tangible than equities.

Hi fellow innovative strategy folks!

This new City council ordinance might be the catalyst that raises cap rates in the city of Los Angeles.

I have had the property for 2.5 years and the value has not gone up.Here are the details of the property:Purchase Price in Nov 2013: $131kCurrent Rent: $845/moI pay 8% for property managementZillow zestament: $131kTrulia estimate: $139kI make a little money every month (pretty much a wash) but I am mostly looking on advice if I should just try to cash out (hopefully 20k after realtor fees) and roll that into a better producing property.If this was your property, what would you do?

Am I the only one who thinks posting this under "innovative strategies" is a little funny?
