I'm honestly just ready to be done with these people as they are so unpredictable and dishonest.

Because teenagers can be unpredictable sometimes, and strain your nerves--which might lead to less than "Just Business", and more like "Just Dad".And a Lease might take that flexibility away from you.Just my 2 cents.

Starting small with a house where we are located is what we are leaning towards, but I do not want my money tied up for a long time in an unpredictable market right now when I have seen so many promising out of state opportunities.  

Over the past few weeks I have put together an excel spreadsheet containing data relevant to todays unpredictable market. 

It should be noted I plan to hold this property for 5-10 years - which should hopefully round out any crazy happenings in the market.Some of my main concern is, the unpredictable, future of the market.

Banks don't pay anything and the stock market is more unpredictable than real estate.Hope this helps,

Each day is also unpredictable because unexpected challenges and opportunities present each day.As an asset manager, you have to be a generalist.

The sort of thing I worry about is unpredictable violence planned out in cold blood.

I plan on using a property manager due to my job being so unpredictable on when I will actually be in town since I travel a lot for work.

I work full time and I spent a lot of my off work hours working on the properties as the tenants unpredictably need issues resolve.
