If you ever want to grab lunch or coffee and talk real estate, I'd love to connect. 

Maybe we can grab a coffee sometime and I'll tell you what I have done.  

FWIW here's a couple quick screen grabs of the dashboard showing some of the investment range:Your point about data only going back to 2008 is well-taken, and that's another reason I limited my investment amount, and why I'm glad the term is limited to 18 months. 

We are constantly on the look out for new properties to grab a hold of in the entirety of MA and RI.

@Michael Sato Grabbing you too Michael for any insight/thought since you were nice enough to hit my post first!

Grab a quarter.Heads = Bust (like George Washington) your butt to save and pay off your existing debt.Tails = Spread (your wings like an eagle) yourself thin and take on more debt to buy more properties.But really, I think it comes down to where you think we are in the market cycle.

I'm in LA half the time and in Phoenix the other half of my time so if you ever want to grab a coffee in LA I'm open.  

However the math is simple… run an amortization calculator see what the taxes & Mort payment are, and then know what a flat in that area rents for, With that said here is 2 typical examples of Albany propertiesNew Scotland area 2 family’s run around 220k, 6k taxes, 1k insurance payment would be around 1570 a month, typical rentals would be around 1300Washington ave areas 2 family will run around 140, 3500 in taxes, 1k insurance would be about 1000 a month, with rentals being around 1000 a month.So you pretty much can break even in the not as good areas, grab a roommate or 2 and you’re really cash flowing.But don’t forget about the big savings of the low down payment and locked in low interest rate when you plan on exiting in 2-3 years

I am down there quite a bit of you ever want to get together and grab coffee or lunch.

Good luck and let's grab some coffee as I am in the Willis area.
