I do not desire to be a flipper.Because the rent to value is at all time worst (according to 2 recent studies) and because San Diego is a poor cash flow market, better cash flow is available in other markets for new purchases compared to my market. 

Maybe I need to study your story a little closer and figure out how to get myself into that same spot...

I did a study on this and surveyed 40 investors in CO.

The brightside of this is I will take way more time in researching, off your recommendation I went on youtube and have been studying till 4 am after work and have made up some Excel pages to really put down what's really going on and I noticed that a lot of what people are talking about is what I'm doing the only thing that I need to work on is my pitch, confidence when talking and overral experience.AND THANK YOU!

We plan on buying in Columbia sc and im thinking of buying property near the hospitals and college and renting to collage studies and short turn nurse rental. 

@Francisco Milan I'm a big fan of buying real estate and doing cost segregation studies.

You could sell the property at the beginning of the year and buy a property/place that property in service (and do a cost segregation study in the same year). 

3 separate recent studies show it is currently cheaper to rent than own in virtually every large market and that it has never been more so than currently.  

Tough environment to focus on studies. 

Study the market.
