Hi Charles, I think that's a smart investment most of the time.

Not everyone is so smart in these matters.

I just wanted to get some book smarts at the same time.

Legal and smart tactical advice is what I need, because this is affecting my blood pressure, my work and state of mind.

I would like to just concentrate on buy and hold but didn’t know if that was a smart move!

Keep buying.10 SFR's = 10 roofs, 10 mortgages, 10 units in 10 different locations5 Duplexes = 5 roofs, 5 mortgages, 10 units in 5 different locationsIf you are smart....1 10-plex = 1 roof, 1 mortgage, 10 units in 1 location

Restricting the use of live xmas trees is probably a smart move.

Smart move to show your identical adjacent unit! 

I believe this 100% because the same thing happened in another town in my county and now that towns current median household income is at about 100k a year.Okay so finally the questions I have.Do you guys believe that it would be smart to invest in cheap properties (<50000) now while they’re still cheap and hope that they are able to turn the town around?

I did all my training in the 70's to mid 80's  after that my skills were set.. all though you need to tune them up..And with the internet and smart phones and such I am sure there are many new techniques that we never were taught..
