Syndicators who know how to do this the right way all come out with the similar-looking conclusions.

@Eric, evidently the figures I provided weren't enough for others to come to that conclusion

Conclusion: you will meet people and you will learn something.

I have done some research and came to the conclusion that I wanted to do real estate.

And if that is true, in markets where rents and home price appreciation has diverged significantly (i.e. flat to down rents with rapidly rising home prices, or vice versa), can any conclusions be drawn about those markets that might help guide decisions to invest (or not) in those markets?

Interested in what conclusion you came to.Regards,Alan

I took a few more days to think about it and came to the same conclusion as you and have decided to instead take the extra payments I was going to make and put it towards future investments.

With all of the reading I’ve done I’ve come to the conclusion that watching the process of purchasing, fixing and renting such a property would be incredibly helpful.

That's why it is so interesting to get peoples' opinions on these kinds of stats.I know we can't evaluate their specific results without knowing more about the numbers that go into the calculation, but I was more interested in peoples' opinions on the general conclusions and what people think of the markets that are supposedly overvalued.

I will have extra savings due to my low expenses and have been contemplating ways to invest it, and I always seem to come to the conclusion of real estate investing.
