There are often long stretches of flat SFR markets in US. like '79-'83, '89-'94, or even down markets like '06-'13 where single family home values dropped 36% on average across country, so 1% rule may help keep some investors out of trouble by at least having some cash flow to safely carry the mortgage during those times.      

Louis, but I work with investors/developers like yourself across the country.

One year, one of the barn cats found its way into the cellar to sleep on the warm furnace ducts (we lived in snow country).

IMHOThere are more international students staying, I've seen it where I work (at a university), but many of the newcomers are not students and a country our size can't handle that many people in a relatively short period of time. 

We have done all kinds of deals on our own ranging from buying, selling, flips, BRRRRs, and now are also invested in commercial properties along with our SFR portfolio.After retiring from the Navy last summer (2023) and working in a corporate office for 18 months, I have made the leap to working for REI Nation, the country's premier turnkey investment property company.

I want to start a nonprofit eventually to help the poor in the USA & other countries, and I'm considering using my own money or receiving government funds instead of relying on donations from people unless they're just rich ****s.

Just relax for a while and see where the country goes next year. 

I live in California, and have rentals in several markets across the country.

Great comparative info on some of the better markets around the country right now.Cheers!
