Doing so, should lead to you meeting other investors that you can then learn from about flipping and rentals.EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU:)You just have to work for it!

Repetitively reading/hearing about something often leads to action, but make sure you don't get caught in the knowledge-gathering phase forever!

However with a minimum 25% down, cash flow is a must, which is what lead me to Cleveland.

My long term rentals are located in SC, also in a city, and they play a big role in the numbers.

Treasury, HUD, and market participants/investors will have to carefully navigate many thorny issues, including: - Increased Market Competition: Fannie and Freddie will compete more aggressively for mortgage business, which will lead to innovation but also potentially higher risk-taking.

It can provide a very misleading valuation.Your appreciation numbers reflect just below 4% a year (I used 8 year hold) on both properties which is below national average for this period and below what neighborhoodscout depicts for Chicago 10 year average. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/il/chicago/real-estateLooking at this from the outside, I am missing a lot of details such as your interest rate, is there a prop tax benefit for long holds (by the way look up prop 13 for CA at some point as it may play a role in your decision to purchase once you relocate to San Diego), the neighborhood, appreciation potential going forward, any emotional attachment, etc.

I am thinking of getting a list of leads and using the owner info to mail postcards or letters to find small multi family.

I was curious how those of you that work with partners clearly define the roles and benefits within your entity.
