I know this REI is hard work so I'd rather get the real, up front facts about obstacles I'll encounter here (from people who have nothing to profit from sharing a bit of their knowledge) than pay someone to make this sound like a cake walk.I am approaching 24, and have a child on the way in August.

The Indianapolis market is a good market to be able to have your cake and eat it too when it comes to cash flow and equity.

TV, concering, wireless internet . . . cake walk, your only worry would be the tenants taking away your bandwidth, but if it brings in a few more bucks you can always pay a few more bucks for more bandwidth.

Appreciation should be the icing on the cake.

It would be very hard to do out-of-state deals by flying in, assembling a team, flying back out and hoping it runs well....sounds like some of my crockpot cooking...it might be edible but you never know how it will turn out.There are also a lot of varieties out here in the "turn-key" model....many of us posting here at BP.

However, there are many markets where you can get R/V ratios of 1.0% along with good cash-flow and appreciation potential (icing on the cake)."

April 1st I can explain as it was my birthday and I wasn't doing squat for anyone, not even myself, minus eating most of the cake my father bought.

SJ is a piece of cake since the the guests are just easier to manage.As we all know, the challenge was to have enough income to allow us to live this kind of lifestyle.

Can't have that cake and eat it to.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
