You could even buy properties out riding cash with that much dry powder.

This has been a wild ride and I'm only getting started.Do you have any words of encouragement I could share with my mum/family?

I would say that the lack of a garage is definitely a factor that prospective tenants look at because of the hail that occurs frequently.

Carriers are more aggressive about this deductible increase when you're rental is located in a heavy wind/hail area (KS, TX, MN, CO, MO, AR, OK, etc.).  

In that scenario, if that happens, the prices will go up so they want to buy now and ride the wave.Like you I'm not buying, but this is fundamentally why the "Greater fool theory" exists. 

I don't think you're doing anything wrong; it's just a hard ride to Disney or Universal.

Sort of a hail-Mary-pass.

It's been a wild ride of learning about wholesaling, flips, BRRRRs, deals, and market tricks straight from some of the best in the biz.I'm actively seeking to expand my network by connecting with investor-friendly real estate agents, wholesalers, and contractors near the Minnesota Twin Cities area.

I'd keep that one, have a property manager and let it ride out.

So as an investor here, it doesn’t particularly bother me that Detroit has gone on this roller coaster ride since the other areas are showing very positive signs.Is the recent appreciation data/success above most likely because the market previously dipped 50 years ago and then again in 2008?
