There are more affordable options there.The Southeast Valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, etc) has grown significantly, and is often praised for good schools and community amenities.  

New supply is not a severe headwind and has only grown sub-0.5% for a while now.

I love kids have 4 of my own all grown up and now have 10 grandkids love them.

Thank you Simon, I do keep my own books and I do have a CPA who specializes in real estate to handle the review and to file.I've been an investor for eight years and have grown at a good pace, reinvesting 100% of my profits and using money from my day job to cover many expenses.

There are plenty of other high yield agricultural commodities that can be grown in MI.

Busch Tax Company out of New Albany works mostly with real estate agents, investors, etc and more of a sophisticated shop that's grown substantially I'd recommend them.

Holy cow that thread has grown.

I've seen Brian, Brandon H, Dawn, James and other esteemed contributors share their milestones, so thought I'd do the same.I doubt I have impacted nearly as many as above mentioned, but I sincerely enjoy my time here and hope I have helped and inspired more than ired, lol.I feel I have grown to know many of you personally and I appreciate you!

I think you get the gist of most our opinions.If you had 25 LTRs and was thinking of testing the waters, I think that would be an acceptable risk seeing as you had a lot of experience and cash reserves.As a first investment, I personally see that as a way to lose everything you put into it and more if laws change.I don’t think California is considered to be a landlord friendly state so be prepared to have the rug yanked out from underneath you.
