HI Pierre,As long as you can obtain the necessary margin between rental income and your costs to achieve your desired return then it could make sense.

Historically over decades the numbers have not been what the markets have been showing the last 12 to 18 months.Some of these areas in Georgia mentioned tend be spotty areas with a non-desirable tenant base.Is this a non-recourse loan or are you on the hook as the sponsor?  

I still keep a 9 to 5, because I'm not ready or desire to live off RE Investments yet.  

Most contractors work project to project and do not have the ability nor desire to float the cost of materials or labor

Purchase price: $137,800 Sale price: $269,5004Bed 3Bath - 1,820 sqft cosmetic deal in College Park, GA.We were able to source this fix and flip to a buyer that resides in Florida, but desired to invest in the Atlanta area.

I spent a lot of time trying to reconcile the exodus from IL and what I've been seeing in the market and eventually came to understand that while the population in Chicago is dropping the density within the desirable areas is spiking.

That's a pretty broad question and it depends in part on your desire to be involved with your investments or to be passive.

Howdy Folks,So I've had this realization now that I've turned 40 and owned property for the past 15 years in San Francisco: Buy Utility, Rent Luxury.I have NO desire to own multiple rental properties in an expensive city like SF, NYC, LA, SD, etc because it's a hassle, and also because the rent related to the selling price is so low!

Learn the market and what is needed and desired in your area.
