Billy, The numbers have to really work for it to be worthwhile...

What many SF portfolio investors fail to realize is the appreciation in changing markets is the capital event that makes owning SF homes a worthwhile investment, not necessarily the cash flow the homes might spit off each month.

The local STR restrictions are worthwhile.  

Although we are hesitant to speculate as to why RealtyShares may be shutting down, I think it's worthwhile to note that we ultimately operate very different business models.

Bank LoanI have had fantastic tenants that make it all worthwhile.

I think transparency, and talking through the issue with investors/lenders, is worthwhile and builds trust.  

She eventually got out of this business because of increasing regulation and (I think) because she wasn't making enough off just half the points to be worthwhile.

In the past I've purchased w/ 10 or 20% down, and for a 20% ROI - with rents and property values increasing and costs lower- I have a good cash flow.I would like to continue investing but it seems the City is now so expensive that the returns don't make the risk worthwhile(?).

Is it even worthwhile to increase my offer slightly or do I just need to wait for them to drop the price?

Then the HOA tightened the rules regarding rentals.We were 'referred' to a local property manager who negotiates all the hoops & hurdles & the face to face required for the screening of our seasonal tenants. 5 years & counting she has made it very worthwhile....but NEVER again!!!
