@Linda Weygant @Kevin Coggins  when he mentions negative gearing that is a distinctly Australian term.. for whatever its worth you will not hear US investors mention that or even know what it means. internet is a wild thing.. when you can create all these persona's.

Today, it isn't as much anymore because Salaries have stagnated for about 30 or so years, especially if you look at Buying Power over the 3 decades.I want to make a distinction between PAID education and FREE education (or almost free).

The healthy, wealthy, and wise distinction is genius and I can review this book for the rest of my life and still gain something new every time I look at it.3.

All segments of our population must be served, housing is not an option and your target market will be unique.

Note there is a subtle distinction there in the sense that she enjoys mostly what she does, so she hustles, whereas my grind is a means to an end.

To place in the top 1 percent of Americans, they would need to bring in at least $389,436.But do either of these comparative distinctions make you wealthy?

But entry level $600k-$1M segment is still red hot with bidding wars and homes selling for more than list price.

We’re seeing about a pretty even three-way split among our clients in terms of behavior:One segment of landlords doesn’t seem to be aware of the changes (we’re constantly trying to update all with updated info as it becomes available) and are surprised to hear about them. 

Nonetheless I still plan on my next RE investments being in the Phoenix area, specifically the retirement areas, as I see that segment growing...plus Phoenix has been one of the hottest (pun intended) RE areas in the country over the past decade.....

The numbers look good on paper but what Caleb is saying, based on his personal experience in this exact market segment, is that cheap low rent properties often end up being paper tigers because one or two unexpected issues can easily devour several years worth of cash flow.
