I think Columbia is a great place to invest in due to the overall low cost of living, it having the largest college in the state (University of SC), and Fort Jackson keeps veterans in the area.

Insurance has been the largest line item increase for us.

But I fought my way through lawsuits that took eight years and went to the federal appellate level, fighting the largest multi billion dollar title company and a legion of attorneys and in the end the federal judge agreed that I hadn't done anything wrong.

That leads me to contemplate renting for myself (and invest elsewhere), but that is also a bad idea because my largest expense is going into another landlord's pocket, and I don't benefit from all the wealth makers of owning my primary residence.One possible solution I thought of is purchasing a large single family home and doing short-term rentals for each room with Airbnb. 

@Damian Pokoj Warren is the 3rd largest city in Michigan, after Detroit and Grand Rapids.North of I-696 Freeway is mostly Class A and B.South of I-696 is mostly Class B and C.Overall, it's actually a fairly safe city and residents have a lot of job opportunities in other nearby cities.DM us if you'd like more info:)

The negative cash flow bites into this early return but hopefully before the early return is consumed there is some positive cash flow that will increase most years (largest expense is fixed (P&i), property tax is near fixed).You are correct about our evictions being near lowest in the country but if you only look at that, is it a result of quality tenants or the challenges of getting an eviction?  

This unit is the largest, with three bedrooms.

Boomers are largest demographic co-hort in US history.

A 10% drop for Las Vegas would be the second largest drop in it’s history.

My largest concern about buying now, is the market is at a "top".
