I may be wrong but I think that is what I remember hearing.  

I’ve been raising rents closer to 10% for the last few years and 5% is the lowest I can remember in the last 10.

Remember the only thing that the landlord gets from rental property is RENT, so make sure that you get it!! 

When I first started working with new wholesalers years ago in the Phoenix area, I remember meeting a buddy who’d just locked up a deal on a fourplex near Grand Avenue.

I don't remember their names but people from the War College helped us redo the electrical and plumbing for cost which was amazing.

I remember chatting with a good friend of mine, Jared, who once picked up a quirky three-story in Somerville to rent short-term.

Remember you are investing in relationships above all else.

Stay away from any screaming deals near Rockwall lake, that area is actually a flood plane and got flooded a few years ago.

People had no idea what to do at stop lights, gas pumps didn't work and those that already pumped gas couldn't pay because the attendant couldn't take cash, the lights were out in office buildings and hotels, grocery stores were worried about frozen and refrigerated food going bad, theme parks had people stuck in rides screaming to get off.

I remember back when I first dipped my toes into real estate investing...around the time I’d hoarded my first serious nest egg like a squirrel stashing acorsn...I had something close to your $80K set aside.
