@Ken Scarbrough I thrived and was my best years during the market crash.

Returns for "A" neighborhoods (appreciating populations, thriving commercial corridors, ownership to rentership is higher) can give net CAPS of 9-11% on average and have an acquisition price fully turn key for 110-200k.

I recommend Thrive themes due to its backed user support and community.

The Midwest is thriving right now in terms of good ROI and cash on cash return percentages.

I've started looking into it and there is a thriving market in the area I want to find a cabin.  

And I'll document my progress on LIVE LET THRIVE ... it's me and Myka Artis podcast about everything Airbnb and the share economy.

I won't sugar coat it - downtown is a mess - but there are so many fabulous neighborhoods and suburbs that are thriving, we're selling a lot of homes and rents are going up and up.

Pace not only attracts quality, but his team work their butts off to ensure the culture thrives. 

I am doing all I can now to educate myself (through podcasts, books, etc.) on the ins and outs of real estate investing and each week I feel more confident in my ability to truly thrive in this arena in the not too distant future.  

If you're interested in continuing to do BRRRR deals one door at a time you'll likely thrive using commercial loans from a local bank.
