But there is a difficulty, that is compiling the data correctly so you can make an honest graph then apply trend following methods to it as well......i will have to get back to you on that. i understand the types of set ups that ken wade is applying to the various local markets and they not new, which is a good thing, they have their own track record. the real difficulty will be to find markets that are growing at opposite times. so that way when you get out of one market you can move over to the other.

I'm excited to be in a local market when it appears that prices aren't crazily high and, judging by the new place I've rented the rental prices are quite high compared to the buying price (when comparing to London or Australia of course) so there should be some decent yields out there.I'm new to property in general also so have been blitzing through some podcasts and books and hope to have better knowledge by the time my credit rating has a chance to build over a year or so.In addition to the above education it would great to get some Houston specific information so if anyone can share some good links for reading up, any charts/graphs of historic house prices, area guide links, work out if prices/yields here are currently perceived to be high/low or anything in general you feel would be a help.Differences for me coming from the UK would be that public transport links are very important when deciding where to invest, where as here it doesn't seem to have much relevance as everyone drives but I imagine other fundamentals like Jobs, schools, shops, non-flood areas are still as important.

I recently saw a graph of new housing starts at 800K units, when the norm would be about 1,100K.

It would be great to have graphs, etc as well.  

Did the contract lay out specific milestones and a payment schedule for each of those milestones? 

You must have done something similar at one point because you said the $27,000/month was a goal or milestone you had wanted to achieve.

Professor Phil Jones confessed that the Data for the infamous 'hockey stick graph' has gone "missing"; there has been no global warming since 1995; and that the world may have been warmer in medieval times than it is today.

I have a colleague who earned the Master's degree in Real Estate who has been extremely successful —lots of graphs and analyzation!

Your Financial Goals should be what you need in total to pay off your personal debt, and accumulated cash flow to pay for your leftover monthly bills.Take that list, and it will be a list for both, and group them into a series of measurable milestones.Each milestone will have its own criteria, and thus project its own property profile that's needed to satisfy/achieve these milestones.

I'm in the process of adding graphs and other aesthetics to make the package look a little more appealing to the eye.
