If you couple that with relatively cheaper taxes and a 20% downpayment, you can have a sustainable investment.I bought in Bellmore and was lucky initially (under 300K) for 4 Bedroom 2 bath home outside of floodzone.

It's not ideal or sustainable for a long time but still managed to do it.

I like to keep rents sustainable, not high enough to where I will have high turnover, not low enough to where I can easily replace a tenant for higher rent.

I totally understand the need to not constantly be on call, especially when you have a child, and 7 days a week from 7 am to 11 pm is in my opinion probably hard to sustain without getting burned out. 

As a full-time agent in the Greater Boston market, I remember being part-time at the beginning, it was not sustainable in the long term.

But I chose instead to continue working at a reduced level of stress to further my financial sustainability, which got me through the financial crisis of 2008 with only minor scratches.Now I have the high-class problem of figuring out what to do with all the free time I have.

The community can not sustain these rental rates.

Yes, we need sustainable development and conservation practices or we will be in trouble - but for the foreseeable future Phoenix is in very good shape.Arizona's new Governor is in her first year, and she was elected to replace a very pro- development predecessor - so Arizona politics are different than they were over the past decade.
