@Nancy Curran -  It depends on where we are at in the buy cycle....

I am on my way back over there to cycle the hot water on.

It's a long customer life cycle.

The information posits that one can become "free" only if they do a few things; (1) conquer fear (2) unhinge from the "wage" mentality (3) delegate, delegate, delegate (3) cross-references item (1) b/c any successful person builds an ongoing "cycle." .

If you are wanting to resell in a couple years, I recommend buying a turnkey in the most infant stage of a growth cycle possible so you can reap some appreciation at the sell-time.

I have seen many cycles in California go up,  then not,  then go up, then go down.  

I'm actually looking at this right now in an attempt to assign market cycles/phases at the local level across the US by property type.There are a lot of indicators in the mix right now and historical data is pretty spotty for a lot of them.  

Again, I say If you leverage prudently, you're better off with the cash in hand.HOWEVER that being said, I would LOVE to hear form the B & H investors on BP who've lived through a few storms over the various RE cycles.

At that point, if its a maintenance issue, my maintenance man is called every 5 minutes 3x, then cycles between me an him until someone picks up.

Account Closed You have to realize the current economic cycle we are at.
