I am looking at using the following: - Car & bicycle - 3 ring binder with laminated printed maps - digital camera (smart phone) - grease pencils - index cards for notes :drool:

there are many adu companies out there who would provide you the model from builder like champion home or clayton home, and then take care of site work - foundation + pulling all utilities. the lowest quote i have recd is for 146k for around 770 sqft. 

I’m actually possibly the final fed defender, I think overall Powell has done a fantastic job, kept the ecconmy afloat during Covid & yes we paid for that with inflation but I think the alternative scenario’s were just much worse, he probably should have hiked rates like 6 months earlier but regardless got inflation mostly under control, now he’s signaling a piviot and the economy still seems on fairly firm ground, even the mortgage rates which are slight beyond his control have been great, this last 18 months have definitely been extremely restrictive rate’s which the housing market absolutely needed to ring out the rampant speculation, seems like this year rates will be mildly restrictive which is what you want to avoid reheating the economy/housing market.

For wireless doorbell cameras (if you end up getting a lock without a camera), Nest or Ring are both good options. 

Especially in low income, the For Rent sign is still king and it makes the phone ring with tons of unqualified folks. 

I bet that phone rings like mad if you end up with @Will Spruill happy in the end.

And to throw one more option into the ring, I am looking at New Direction IRA located in Louisville, CO.

I just know my phone is going to start ringing and my checking account balance is going to get smaller.  

Dodd Frank ring a bell??

Market value is meaningless when the bulk of the return will come from cash flow and when the resale of the asset will be to another investor who will be holding for cash flow.I have a feeling Ben will agree with both of these statements above (correct me if I'm wrong, Ben)...So, Bob, if you're going to argue that cap rate isn't a good measure of return for one particular type of cash flowing asset (in this case, single family rentals), you're going to have to justify it better than just cutting and pasting someone else's ideas.Please tell us why you (not others) think cap rate is suitable for analyzing/comparing the return of all other cash flowing assets, but automatically breaks down for single family cash flowing assets (or if you think it breaks down for other types of cash flowing assets, please tell what other ones it's not appropriate for).To say that a mathematical model breaks down based on the physical configuration of the underlying asset (one unit versus many units) doesn't ring true for me.
