A SE walk through would run around $600-1000 to assess it and would be a good starting point honestly.

In the current market, it's pretty much impossible to have any positive cash flow in the 2-4 unit space with long term rentals, unless you're putting ~40-50% down, not only focused on the cash flow per se, but rather simply not being in the negative.

Because we want you to make the promised paper return and we want you to buy more and refer us to others.I don't see this happening when you buy a property through Roofstock.3rd party property managers are known to nickel and dime so they can survive (It's a thank less industry and the 10% from the monthly collected rent is chump change really).And the sellers off loading the product through a "sales channel" per se. 

Each market, each submarket and each mall will dictate the use of this space.I don't think online shopping, per se, is killing malls.  

I'm a wholesaler and flipper focused in SE Idaho.

Scott; you're not a pundit per se lol, you create moderate discussions.For context I'm a contractor that's in the trenches every day and my entire family is from South America, every tradesmen I work with speaks Spanish, as do I albeit poorly.

I guess the only thing giving me hesitation is that it looks like housing prices are at all time highs even after adjusting for inflation:https://fred.stlouisfed.org/se...Housing affordability is worse today than it was at the bubble peak in 2006 if you believe Case Shiller data. 

Additionally, I wholesale deals and we buy & hold in SE Wisconsin.

I am a Broker in California though and still on the Oregon DRE s  e mail mailing list I like to stay up on current laws since we are home builders in the Portland Metro market..

Or a PM bizz  etc etc all of these are RE based but you dont need to own any RE per se . when you have investors that are not in the bizz IE not brokers lenders GC's etc etc they to me are true investors and depending on their background and funding ability scaling can be a pipe dream or one can methodically do it in what ever rental props they want to buy..
