Forbes wrote an article in 2014 titled “The Biggest Reason For Income Inequality is Single Parenthood” siting empirical research.

It's great for scaling your rental empire as it ignores your "global cash flow" and only focuses on the cash flow for the subject property.I hope that helped answer your question.

You can make money in land.

Plus you will have to consider repairs, the farther inland you go the better your returns will be, but it will be difficult to achieve significant cash flow in the LA metro area.  

I know what I’m speaking of on this one as I had a partner my first few years of investing.Best regards well that’s not necessarily true .. if you take title in land trusts you can JV with a partner and pass your percentage interest on to your children ( beneficiaries) much better than partnering up in a llc and fighting over stuff if somebody dies or wants to quit  

I live vicariously through you and many of your posts, we have one VR and are working on building our empire.

@Paul C.Look to a website called airdna.co (not .com) as they have empirical data mined from Airbnb. 

I'm just looking for current market value if sold today as is- someone who specializes in land or farms in the Charlotte area.

I'm not betting the farm on this by any stretch and I'd like to see more several months pass before I am married to this notion (and also see at least some pick up in land sales).
