Certainly at the supermarket.But, it's not that simple.Interest rates are artificially held low.

It is therefor beneficial to have a 30 year as opposed to a 15 year mortgage.Equity in a rental is artificially buying cash flow at a very high rate based on the opportunity value of cash.

And if there’s $75K worth of rehab the owners annual expenses are likely artificially low, which is likely what created the $75K need in the first place.

And they will have to continue to remove my ads EVERY DAY.Because I can guaran-dang-tee you I'm more intelligent, just as hardworking, and better at the people skills than the investors out there who are lacking in ethics or don't know how to build partnerships for the long-game.All of this to say, don't let trash get into your mind and detract you.

That stands for Intelligent Mail Small Business. 

You are paying a very high premium to purchase perceived cash flow and have actually turned the property into a liability as opposed to a asset.Your property with rent at $1000/month is far too low for a property valued at $150K and is already negative cash flow when accounting for the artificial cash flow that you are buying with your own cash/equity.

Not enough information to even offer any intelligent answer, but there's not too much real estate hitting a 2% rule (I prefer guideline, but anyway) these days except in war zones. 

What i would like to know is how increasing vacancies in a class A apts effects b and c properties.Also have to remember we are in year 10 of artificially low interest rates, and this financial engineering is INTENDED to rev the stock market and inflate asset values.And the next logical question is what happens as interest rates go up?

The law has kept those property taxes artificially low, regardless of how much their true real estate value increased over the past 10 years. 

I am currently working with a Silicon Valley startup to customize Artificial intelligence based systems to help property managers and tenants with security and other maintenance issues.
