We focus on fundamental measures to combat homelessness as well as assisting underprivileged children.

@John MckeeThere are many analysis tools for commercial deals like The Analyst PRO, but you need to understand the fundamentals so that you can use the analysis tools efficiently. 

I'd read books, learn about real estate fundamentals from SFR guys.

To be clear, I am not saying there is nothing to be concerned with, but as far as any disease impacting one of the fundamental industries of our country that goes well beyond the scope of individual investors and/or small groups.Last thought: Warren Buffet says, "Buy when there is blood in the streets." 

THEN, during the phase where a SFH investment went bad, there is the stress of hearing about, and PERSONALLY dealing with a stressing about it. ie. tenant stops paying rent, political problems in the city causing massive differences in fundamentals, tornado hits your house, then you are IN THE THICK OF IT for a few months, dealing with the fact that this investment you already put 10-12 hours into, probably will take another 10-12 hours of your own stress as the $50K loss materialized.

Again I know nothing about the market, but I just don't know that the fundamentals of what you are describing (or at least my interpretation) make sense.

There's no fundamental reason for a bunch of people to lose their homes and create another supply glut.Currently, flippers, investors and foreign money are getting out while actual prospective home owners are starting to get in due to improving employment.  

Let's set the tone straight; most people don't get into the rental business because they like to manage problematic tenants, deal with leaky toilets or attend eviction hearings.Most people follow traditional investment strategies, that are taught to be passive, but that in reality are far from passive for the great majority of investors.At the very core, most people begin in therental business because they believe in the fundamentals of investing and desire to create some level of freedom and passive income to supplement their current income, and at the same time would like to have some sort of control over their investment.There is nothing wrong with this, and i certainly wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from buying rental houses, if that’s what you really want to do.

Thanks Mike,IMO investing for appreciation is speculating and much higher risk then investing for cashflow.There is much more certainty in basing decisions on the fundamentals of a deal as the numbers stand TODAY and not what they might look like tomorrow.Much success

The fundamental strategy of good multi-family investors is simple: never sell.
