If you think like those gurus or think like those gurus, then you can kick rocks pretty much.Also put aside some money for appraisals, because if you don't do anything correct with a multitude of professionals, you can get sued.Plus these gurus who promise to jv on deals will screw you over.These gurus are pathological liars that need someone to publicly expose them face to face! 

It wasn’t teh flashiest deal, but it’s been rock-solid through rising rates and market swings.

Personally, i would be cautious telling the majority of experienced owners/hosts they are wrong without rock solid data and evidence.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155394-have...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1155264-afte... 

Markets like Memphis TN, Little Rock AR, Tulsa or OKC, OK.

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

We stayed at a place called Rocking J's which was a trip all in itself.

My plan is to be as knowledgeable I possible can so the deals I present are rock solid and convincing enough to get my money.

One of the trends you see clearly is that smaller landlords do not want to rock the boat increases, especially with good tenants. 

Our pro forma for the self storage property we built was rock solid until we opened the business and a year later I was facing losing everything because of all sorts of factors beyond my control.

Dirt road they would have needed to rock for about $10,000.
