Most often appreciation is a matter of where we are in the market cycle, buying now I would expect no appreciation -certainly not for many years.

I cant just credit Rich Dad Poor Dad because at some point in 2015, I found BP online and it was HUGE push forward to help get my feet wet, by reading other people stories, following forums, and reading articles. 

Maybe it’s already online somewhere?

It said they expect demand for apartment rentals to ease in the next 12-18 months as all the new builds come online.

heylooking to purchase a long term buy and hold rental property, budget is 70-80k cash only (oos investor), was approached by a company who assists in the whole process who recommended the indianapolis market as a growing market, with high yields compared to other places. leaving aside the question should i use this company (or any other for that matter), i am looking into the market, the buy/rent ratio looks good in terms of what i'm looking for and i can see the prices have really gone up in recent years, but when checking out the house prices going forward, it seems like most of the information i find talks about prices staying around where they are, some sources even show negative price changes. what are your takes on the matter?

Contact an asset protection lawyer (It doesn't seem hard to open a single LLC by myself online but I imagine it would be difficult to get much past this without some professional help?)

The goals themselves don't matter much, it matters you took the time, thought about it and wrote it down. 

Plus if I'm doing online research/purchasing material online.. add another 10 hours/week on top of that.
