You are forgetting something that is extremely important in answering the question.Exit strategy.With SFR in an A or B neighborhood, when I retire I can sell them off one-by-one to owner occupants.With a portfolio of SFR in C or D neighborhoods, I may be limited to investors (or have to carry notes or do other things that cost effort and money.)So for me, the answer is the B property at $55k, which comes closest to the sweet spot in terms of rent and exit.The question is moot for me anyway

Came away from one of these closings the other day where I BOUGHT and got checks for $3,000 at closing-- not big money but pretty sweet.

If you are going to be driving a lot then the typical sweet spot is a vehicle 2 to 3 years old with maybe 20k to 30k miles on it where most of the depreciation has already occurred.

Well, well, well... whaddaya know... my sweet little hometown of Stockton, California has some big things planned for 2018:https://cvbj.biz/2017/12/04/stockton-lodi-ranks-no-4-top-market-list-2018/https://research.realtor.com/2018-national-housing-forecast/Much in the same way that I boasted about Sacramento last year when it was the #4 spot, in this post I shall make my case for why you (yes, YOU Mr.

Hot markets I'm finding land deals and that's so sweet because land is much easier than finding houses that work.

Perhaps your "why" was a desire to buy a sweet car!

Consumers love it because gas is cheap and they spend money elsewhere on businesses boosting certain segments of the economy.When gas is 60 to 90 a barrel is typically the sweet spot where there is enough profit for oil companies to keep balance sheets fairly healthy with some profit and consumers pay a certain price per gallon that is not what they would desire but are still comfortable with.Above 90 a barrel the oil companies tend to do very well but the price per gallon of gas rises heavily and economies across the U.S. can be affected greatly.

The goal is to find the sweet spot where you can maximize cash flow with quality. 

This is not to say that things may change but afterall, it is an investment and any investment is not without risks.I also have some first trust deeds also and they are pretty sweet deals.  

That's a sweet deal Will!
