This leads to stability and will keep my rental portfolio growing at a steady pace."

I've made pace with that fact and I see it as a way to learn how to manage a property, along with it's tenants.

Homes are spending more time on the market and the pace of both home sales and price growth is slowing...This normalization does not necessarily mean a weakening housing market, but a return to less aggressive market conditions."

You will learn so much from buying a small SFR or duplex and renting it out, and with a smaller amount of up-front cash, you won't plunge too far if the deal goes south.I believe I could have purchased 2-3 times as many properties in my first year as I did, but I am trying to build a slow, steady portfolio that grows at a healthy, sustainable pace.

And finally, if you are in a fast paced market, like mine, with most likely multiple offers on the table; will a seller (given all else equal) pass in favor of a cash down payment.

I have been reading the material of my self-paced program and I have been at it for waaaaaayyyyy too long.

Another area that is great for multi family is Dupage County, it's going to cost you a pretty penny but rents there are growing at a fast pace and people rent those for those high prices because it's a good area top 25 county in the country and people can't afford single family houses there unless they make at least 100 k per household which is alot for the midwest.

So it’s kept pace somewhat but it’s still hotter than it was.

We do have a political forum if you'd like to advance any political agenda.....Good luck!

On pace for over 1 million this year.
