I think it's my agent who has put a brake on this. 

Best aftermarket value formula to use.

G'Day Hughston,The best advice I could give would be to not invest out of state unless you buy turnkey.But that's just me being biased.The second best advice I can give is to focus more on the people that you will be working with over the stats/demographics of a specific area.I'm sure that this has been covered many times in the various BP books but to this day it rings true.You will heavily have to rely on the folks on the ground.They will either make or brake your investment so choose them wisely.If you buy the best house, on the best street, in the best area with the best capital growth projections.But your property manager is incompetent or a cheat.You will loose money.So, team first, area second.Much success

When I started in my 20s and I was able to drink brake fluid and nails for breakfast, I was listening to 3 podcasts a day and analyzing deals from sunrise to sundown.

Too many people run them like they drive their cars: stomping on the gas, slamming on the brakes, then complaining about poor MPG.

You might be glad DH put on the brakes, at least until after you are getting a complete night's sleep.  

@Caleb Brake   I've been working and investing in this market for about 25 years now. 

I too get frustrated at a resort charge but for me I just look at total price when comparing properties.If you went to a mechanic for new brake pads and they said it would be $195 would you upset? 

Bottom line who is the builder and who are their subs that will determine your after market 1 year warranty care..I do want to add that I also provide a 2 10 structural warranty policy which I pay for.. those cost about 1200.00 this warrants structure years 2 through 10. 

After market selection (1-3), my next task  is to segment those markets to avoid troubled areas.
