show me anyone in any other quote un quote cash flow market that did  THA T   LOL excellent post.. i agree with this too.. i purchased 3 properties just few years ago here in the bay area... 2 in 2011 and 1 in 2012 all cash and my the equity for all 3 just doubled... probably near $1m equity. partially i think my mistake was i didnt leverage the bank.. i probably would have been able to purchase a lot more properties.. but im very a conservative investor and a complete newbie + im self employed and my income dropped significantly.anyways... all properties bring in positve cashflow, rents have increased and ready for harvest.. if i need down payments that is...also, ive been researching heavily the past few weeks... and i think there are some few good deals in the east bay right now...

You pay your dues and harvest comes way later.

Who would have thought that a 1987 harvest gold color stove would have a motherboard that could go berzerk. 

Only issue is it is pink.

Pay tax on the seed not the harvest.

was going to glue 2" pink foam on bottom 24" of exterior block basement walls,,, then have electrician run conduit on top of that horizontally for outlets.

Less turnover.And turnover is the enemy when it comes to making money as a landlord.I would be tickled pink if the existing rental is at 1800 and it has less of the upgrades than yours does.

The house next door was painted bright pink!

You can still redeploy the equity just as you might with a 1031 exchange if you sell and are able to harvest the gain tax free.

Pinks for hotdogs (although I don't know what the fuss is about).
