Make sure you aren't comparing apples to oranges such as the rents including utilities or some other concessions.

A vacant unit is a thing of beauty compared to a unit filled with pus-bags (I would've used the term 'scumbags' but MikeOH already trademarked it).

Compare that to buying 50 properties with the numbers I talked about.

It's not much to brag about compared to some of the other success stories I've heard.

When you compare the cost per door for a multi-family with the price of a single family home.. in some areas there is not much difference.

I have an appraiser that will get me comparable sales and the range that he feels the house will appraise in.

How do you think they would compare?

To add more injury to insult they asked me to provide my business and personal bank statements, to ensure that I was financially suitable to be making/receiving the type of money compared to the deposit they had on hold.

The real estate bust and all the problems we have now are miniscule compared to what's coming in the next few years, which is a total collapse of our government and bankruptcy of our country.

Aren't things moving too fast to compare it to past recessions?
