Goals for REI include starting slow and learning as much as possible along the way and eventualy turning REI into a Cash Flow endevour that will be able to sustain a qualtiy of life that I want to provide for my family.Looking forward to meeting folks form the forum and Bigger Pockets Community.Chris

Yet it continues to be sustained...and will continue.

What's that going to do to the older apartments, and do you think the influx of more students can sustain the current prices?

Most of the current crop of "gamblers" in California HAVE been hitting some jackpots, but is it sustainable? 

You should set up an irrigation system using PEX tubing, it will be cheap, convenient, and self sustainable. 

However, I have a plan to turn about 10-50 acres of land into a sustainable development center for learning how to implement aquaponics and renewable energy systems (wind, wave, tide, solar and geothermal) for year round food and energy production.

For a turnkey company to exist and sustain, they need a market where there is positive [monthly] cash flow and enough inventory to work on in a revolving fashion.

Would be a pain, but could help you get to that next property faster.But also, as they've said, time will tell as to the sustainability of those numbers with the vacancy rates and tenant quality, as well as CapEx items.

I have found a multi-family dwelling that would be the perfect start to a sustainable career in real estate investing.Purchase price is 65000020 units 90% occupied @450 with work rents have potential to grow.My credit score is just under 700.

You just have to make sure your in a positive cash flow situation, and your not buying low end properties, those are not sustainable in the long term.
