@James Wise I am very excited about this project.

It's more questions and considerations, and might interest you..http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4579/blog_posts/32645-if-ca-h-is-king-then-leverage-is-god---loans-cash-roe-roi-and-riskThere are a million indeces, but for real estate specifically, I think looking at affordability indeces, how loose loans are (either through Federal Reserve loan surveys, % of subprime or low-doc loans), and consistency of % real estate price gains far exceeding inflation for a sustained period, are all risks to look for..Also, when you hear your dentist, then your mechanic, then your landscaper, then your landscaper's assistant buying up and preaching the wonders of real estate investments.. when it's the topic of conversation of every cocktail party.. and when it's the only asset class everyone wants to be in.. you know the market is getting frothy..!

Lisa Phillips I live in columbus and after listening to your podcast and reading a few of your posts with Al Williamson (my dad and brother's names) I ve been looking at few places in southern orchards and king Lincoln.

Perhaps the idea of finding a deal that works with the 12% (thanks @James Wise for the suggestion to assume 12%) built in seems so unlikely here in LA, but maybe in Michigan it's realistic!
