Welcome aboard @Steven Spruell, you've come to the best site on a wide spectrum of real estate investing I believe will equip you on to great success, all the best!

I think education should be given for both ends of the spectrum.

The returns you get from not paying taxes are better than anything I have seen in this business.3) Because you are 50 years old, most financial advisors would say you should be on the more conservative end of the IRA investment spectrum.

On the opposite side of the spectrum though the 4 Vs 5 units can quite possibly turn out t be a financing blessing.As for the story, yeah the story.

We've been down the aisle a couple of times only to have looser money from away come overtop of our offers.Folks continue to bring us off market and pre-listing opportunities and we continue to look at the spectrum of 16 - 50 unit properties, but given the quantity of new units just arrived on the market and those still in the pipeline, there will be increased vacancy and downward pressure on rent in our core areas.  

From that view, it seems more understandable as to why Greece is so interested in staying in the Euro at this point, but you have to wonder what the eventual "price" of keeping them in the fold will be when one side of the spectrum doesn't even seem convinced having Greece in the Euro is worth it anymore, and the other sees including them more closely as the best option.

Super chill and people on all ends of the spectrum from newbie to tons of experience. 

If you are going to be on the lower end of the spectrum you need to offer the agent something.

At those higher numbers you're still on the dirt cheap end of the rental spectrum.

Another book I enjoyed reading a while back is "The New Elite" by Taylor & Harrison.Jim Taylor and Doug Harrison define this "Elite" group as “people in the top 1 percent of half of 1 percent of the American economic spectrum: These people typically have at least $5 million in liquid assets (i.e., not including their primary residence) or have at least $500,000 in annual discretionary income.”
