Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

People assumed California would be the worst-performing state because the baseline level of affordability was so low.

The worst thing is before she got to my door i thought about it. 

The issue that I'm facing now is whether I want to pull it out against one of my rentals or on my primary.I have found a bank that will allow me to borrow as a second lien on rentals but their rates are higher than what I could get when just doing it against my primary.What I'm most worried about is what happens in a worst case scenario, should something drastic happen in the market.From what I understand, using the money against a rental doesn't necessarily provide much more of a safety blanket in case things hit the fan because if, somehow, the HELOC lender can't recover their money, you'll get sued anyways.

And I think one of the WORST ways to go it is "find an agent who also invests" because there going to pump JUST what they do as being "the way", because it's what they do, so now your pigeon holing yourself to "A" persons personal preference.

In my call I was told the worst case scenario for Class A investors, if the Capital call fails and they don’t contribute to it is 70% of your original investment will be returned upon sale of assets (given it’s not ideal to sell now).

I live in the SF Bay Area and have decided to buy my first single-family home.I fully acknowledge and recognize that the SF Bay Area and California (in general) may have some of the worst cash flow numbers in the entire country.I've already traveled to cheaper Midwestern states to look at real estate opportunities, but have decided to invest here in the SF Bay Area as I'm purchasing with the intention of living in it first and foremost, and then renting it out sometime in the near future when I move overseas.I'm looking for anywhere in the Greater Bay Area/Northern California region (even Sacramento & Central Valley is okay) with better than average purchase price to rent ratio, and some appreciation (if possible). 

Between now and then you can really crunch the numbers on rent vs. costs and decide how much negative you can stomach....at worst you still decide to sell in the spring and maybe it's a $40K loss instead of your current estimate. 

So worst case it goes to zero, best case is a 50x gain.It’s kind of like gold, it’s a hedge against the dollar.
