@Matthew McNeil Hi Matt - we are invested in Meridian and Eagle - all single family rentals under management by a property manager.

I see there has been quite a growth in the last few years in Meriden and Boise but I'm thinking of Eagle area. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Silver Spring.

I bought a $30 sterling silver and cubic zirconia ring off AliExpress (they make them in “2 carat” sizes, etc.)

We also admittedly come from a silver spoon background, which makes him ignore what I consider to be good rentals.

DM has & still does work, but it's not a silver bullet.

There's no silver bullet for operating here due to rent control (if any) being different for each municipality. 

Deals don't fall in your lap or brought to you on a silver platter by your realtor, especially when you're starting out.  

I don't care whether it's your mother's sterling silver, a condo in Trump Tower, your car or a real estate investment property - and that is totally negotiated  between 2 people.

An abandoned mobile home park, a 1/6 interest in a patented lead/silver/zinc mine (30 acres), and a substandard lot next to a creek in a High Sierra ski town.Tax sales are fun, but sometimes they get out of control with bids, that is one reason why it can be profitable to buy prior.
