I am also a new investor and agree with the sentiment on this post that older neighborhood tends to cashflow better.

Ditto @Ned Carey's sentiments above.  

I appreciate your sentiments on 5% serving as a bit of a personal benchmark for what's currently acceptable.

Although I've heard the sentiment you expressed before, what is the authority to back that sentiment? 

@Kelvin:I share your sentiments: most residential real estate agents can sell a home to Dick & Jane Public, but can be detrimental to an investor.  

I second the sentiments above the more you put in the more you'll get out of BP.

I would add that even in some of the documentation that says there are little negative medical impact-there is a sentiment of not exposing children to it (a sort of why risk it).

I heard the other day google with its investment in sidewalk labs believes Toronto will be the largest tech hub/employer in North America after San Francisco...That being said, all the negative sentiment that we hear in the news is rhetoric.

In that respect, I agree with the "too many hands in the cookie jar" sentiment.

Cody Croslow - I am going to echo a few of the sentiments on the previous comments especially J Scott, Will Barnard and Josh Dotzler.
