It is true that your operator/manager is vital - but neighborhood quality is just as vital as even the best operator will have a tough time in a poor neighborhood.Hope that helps

The decision to ban speculations in the off plan realty market is a vital and positive step, that will contribute to the stability of Dubai real estate market and boost its growth.

Welcome fellow Bigger Pockets member @Thomas Ortiz This is a great forum and I am sure it will help you learn many facets of the real estate investment world.

I hate the word QUIT.... challenges are hard in life yet vital to overall growth.

This allows you to focus on what’s vital to you, whatever that may be (work, business, charity organizations, time freedom, family time, travel, helping others, etc…), while living the Cash-Flow Life!

I guess when you go t Europe every month it really doesn't matter living high on the hog on other peoples money.you could not write a better script for a American Greed episode in all facets..  1. famous personality..  2. typical luxury lifestyle as soon as they start getting more money than they are accustomed to3.

While I agree that it's vital to cash-flow, from a metrics standpoint, you will actually perform worse on a cash on cash and IRR perspective using a 15 year versus a 30 year.

@Gino Barbaro I would 100% agree that those are the most vital steps.

It is also vital to show up in person to evaluate the situation. 1 HR is not to far to check out your investment.

I would imagine it would be similar to a doctor or hospital saying "eh, you're fine, and don't need a doctor" without actually taking vitals or whatever, and then that person dying.
