Good day all, I just started a new chapter in my life after a life altering event, a year ago my wife suffered a severe stroke that left her Quadraplegic and Vent dependent, she's now recovering but as a truck driver I had to come off the road, looking for field-training, and other creative minds to bounce ideas.If you'd like to get together for coffee/or tea I'm more than interested, Metro Area pleaseCarl M

The cap rate is 4.7 and GRM is 17.4, it will be interesting to see how capital gain comes to play here.I have some experience in property management in college days (20 years ago) and looking at the past REI history in LA even through recession (2000/2008) the market seems to always bounce back and appreciate greater around high demand neighborhoods.

My parents own a rental and flipped a house, and my business partner's parents have a small portfolio of rentals, but none of them really "mentored" us - more just there to bounce ideas if we asked.

Homeownership rates will bounce around, but the US is hardly going to become a renter nation. 

We have several accounts, including IRA's, and tech stocks can go down 60% one year, and bounced back even more the following years.
