Meaning your R.E. boom is NOT standing on internally sustainable metrics, it was via foreign (out state) dollars flooding in.

The reason I bring this topic up is because I am looking at approaching an owner about buying his 3 family that sustained significant fire damage.

Not knowing, what his professional or employment prospects will be as he gets older, I want to build a business that generates a high volume of cash flow to not only provide my family financial freedom in the near term, but to build a business that can sustain and fund his life in the long run.

I don't know enough to know how sustainable that is at current rates but know damn sure that it makes the 1970s and the rest of the interest rate trend chart meaningless from a "normal" standpoint.I think it's very clear what the Fed is doing and will keep doing. 

The market is not sustainable appreciating at 30% a year. 

I may be missing some compounding interest over the years from our Roths I tapped, but the income I’m generating from RE will sustain me if things go south in the stock market when I’m retired.

Good to hear from some one who has seen from the front line, how this has transpired.Wondering, if you have any of those properties you were outbid on before have come back on market because they can no longer sustain?

The region's diverse economy, including the presence of tech companies, healthcare institutions, and a vibrant cultural scene, bodes well for sustained growth and a healthy rental market.Investing in an unfamiliar area can be daunting, but you're not alone on this journey.

You will find out who is just "selling" you something versus helping you build generational wealth and self sustaining business.
