@Mohamed Hersi Welcome to the vibrant Bp community.Unfortunately, REI is not a sprint race, it's a marathon.

Assuming no global or economic catastrophe, I believe we will see moderate appreciation over the next 2 years (i.e. 10% cumulative).  

It is factored into the rents globally with my other utilities.

Dan,Your banker is likely referring to global debt service ratio as nearing 1.2. 

@Randall RussellWelcome to the vibrant BP community.

He has been bartending for years and years and the schedule was incredibly hard for a vibrant family life, so he took the plunge and got his RE license and is 2 months now working with a RE team.  

@Timothy GrilloWelcome to the vibrant BP community.

@Jeffrey PayanWelcome to the vibrant BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.Your time on this social media site will be well spent.You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.The bottom line is that you must take action to start.

-response/answer: not to oversimplify, and please if any other investors would like to comment, markets are generally global, yes individual markets will vary, prices, neighborhoods, single family vs multidwellings, commercial, etc, but globally, I would like to say, maybe not so boldly because I do not know everything, it is a buyers market. the market is in favor of investors even thought the market is starting to recover and prices are rising. now is the time to buy10. good luck to u!
