Either way, just like only foolish people assume they must be getting a great deal when a consumer good is marked "50% off", I recommend getting a quote for the energy improvements independent of the program first so that you can compare apples to apples.Happy investing,Troy

You buy an Apple phone or do a Google search in Kentucky and it pads pockets in the Bay Area.I am not a Bay Area resident or fan boy, just looking at this logically and as someone who has done business in the tech field for 20 years.

Also, make sure the number you’re calling out from isn’t showing up as “SPAM LIKELY” on apple phones etc.

Also lenders on revenue will not have as great of rates as those lending on market value of single family.Lastly you can make numbers do what ever you want especially when you start off with omitting expenses.... comparing rent by the room and a standard single family is apples to oranges.

Seems like only the rotten apples are getting to foreclosure now that short sales are faster and easier to obtain.

But I'll take a tall white hot chocolate or hot apple cider from Starbucks almost anyday!!

For me, I was hooked when I watched my first position (Apple) turn positive; however I always had one issue with investing in stocks as a profession: I did not feel I was adding any value to the community around me.

Most people on Section 8 are good people, but there are always a few bad apples, so just do a really thorough job at screening.

If we base the purchase price on total income it would be twice as high.The true beauty of buying apartments is that the income after paying expenses determines value.It’s all about the numbers.Took me a few tries to get to this point...you laid it out perfectly in this post...the hard part is finding cap rate comps since all the recently sold properties do not have T12s and rent roll information that you can use to compare apples to apples....any suggestions on how to estimate appropriate cap rates?
