@daniel huang...check out the inflated expenses..plumbing bills month after month...home depot unexplained expense...gutter repair..rehab expenses...these are dated after the tennant buyer took posession.

http://www.curbed.com/2016/5/19/11713134/affordabl...There has been a ton of news coverage in the past few years about the rise of rental rates throughout American cities.

With regard to CA, rental rates are currently low to FMV true, but that is primarily because underlying appreciation has been about 100% over the last 4 years in many areas with rents rising only about 40% during the same period, a most enviable "problem" to have for sure if you played it right.

Either way, never trust the wholesaler numbers as they have a tendency to inflate ARV and deflate rehab costs.

I know in Portland, OR (Where I am living) the market of real estate is on the rise and sky rocketing!

I am currently renting a 1 bed/1bath unit for myself in a high rise apartment complex for around $2,400/month (rent, pet fee, water, trash, sewage, utilities, and cable.) my lease is up February 1st.  

This is a timely move with interest rates rising, RE values will decrease.

Simply tracking spending has been one of the best things for me, it's kept me from lifestyle inflation and made clear my biggest expenses.
