A few things that newer investors should note:- it took 13 years to get there, you have to be patient- rents are high at about $1,750, so probably a quality neighborhood- looks like that is after vacancies, probably low turnover?

@Sarah HartsteinThe way you spoke so highly of your success embodies what investing is all about.The more I research investors who are successfully investing outside the country, the more I feel inclined to shift my goals toward international real estate investments rather than focusing solely on opportunities within the U.S.I will most certainly keep you in mind once I am ready to expand my portfolio!

Two identical homes located next to each other would come up with the same value, even though House #1 was just renovated to a very high standard and House #2 hadn't ever been renovated since it was built in 1949.I always tried for an identical (or nearly so) beds, baths, sq ft of living area, garage and acres.
