And for many who have cash they get hooked to the passive nature of the business and to the returns that over time will usually out perform rental properties.Once folks have been through the rental cycle and realize how tough it is to be a landlord they start looking at lending its a natural progression.. of course many have a combination of both.. but I have seen it happen with great frequencies over the years.. my clients selling off rentals to put into notes.

But a new market is a new world and you need to mitigate risk by pulsing experts, agents, investors, business owners, renters in an area to vet your analysis as much as possible, and use online resources to check crime rates, school system strength, foreclosure  frequency etc.  

My best guess is high frequency traders (a.k.a. computers) making algorithmic trades based on current positions, not the fundamentals of the companies or the economy. 

I don’t have to worry about rumors affecting stock prices or high-frequency computers making automated trades that affect a sell-off.

Reducing claims frequency will help with the stability of your rates and help secure a wider variety of coverage options for your property.2.

And that starts with consumer complaints.. and based on the less than knowledgeable folks that post on BP that really have NO business getting into the middle of what is very serious business for a seller I can see this happening with more frequency. for whatever reason and I guess because of the internet people want to get rich in RE with no money and no credit.

So you refine, rinse and repeat and all of a sudden the leads come in with more frequency and at lower cost.

I doubt anyone even knows what they are here or has ever heard of them.. newbies buying rentals in the mid west soon learn though   and yes it happens in most all price points... although with my A class in the best parts of Jackson MS  IE Madison and RAnkin county I have never caged one and one has never gotten stolen.. on my C and B class in Jackson ( I had over 200 of those babies) they were stolen with great frequency whether they were caged or not..

(re: general numbers for profit/cashflow, prices, frequency of deals, ease/difficulty, and anything else you think is interesting to note :) I greatly appreciate your comments and thoughts!

also with what frequency (monthly, etcc) ?
