There is no such absolute rule or mandate for REI - it is up to you on your comfort level with your cash flow versus total investment versus appreciation potential.If I followed that rule, I would have missed out on a LOT of great opportunities over the years.We bought a house in Jones Valley in 2017 with negative cash flow - why? 

I didn't follow the impacts on the housing market though.Great website. 

I am obviously conflicted with the moral side of pursuing legal action here, but understand that people can do untruthful things when it comes to financial gains. 

Will follow this thread. 

I'm not sure if I follow your 5-yr annualized return.

I understand that a fideicomiso is needed if we are wanting to own a property by a beach (which we would).

Look up local investors on social media and follow them and comment and like their posts so they get used to seeing your name.

It helps you understand the areas where you want to invest, your rehab cost and where you money is going.

Let them do the follow up and paperwork and maybe lead cleanup, but you do the dialing and talking yourself for much better results.

This means understanding the neighborhoods, pricing trends, and what buyers are looking for.
