I watched some of your videos on YouTube and was impressed.

There are multi-million dollar houses that you can walk just a couple short blocks and watch the neighborhood get pretty rough and potentially dangerous.

As others have said watch out for property taxes and home insurance too. 

Do they save women & children first, or do they abandon ship and watch it go down from afar?

The ones I manage total to 20 bedrooms.These rooms rent for between $125 to $225 per week depending on room size and amenities in the room (beyond basic amenities may include: Desk, Tv, private entry, tenant controlled AC, additional storage).This month after padsplit takes their 14.25% cut of the revenue I am recieving, from the units I own, $15,230 from 3 homes.

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

Either buy what you can afford, or stay out of the game till you can afford it.Anyone involved in trainings, mentorships etc on any topic, anywhere, my advice to you is PRESS IN, get closer to your group, sit at the feet of the 'masters' so to speak...then watch what happens to your knowledge, and your business.

I just watched their video.
