By then you will be a lot more savvy.I don't foresee real estate performing as well in the next 10 years as it did in the past 10. 

Especially, if they are out of market buyers relying on third-party property management.

We've been shown several properties that, to use our internal conversation, a 25 year old couple could perform.

We are working on our third rehab, a SF in Lawrenceville and need to build more connections with local contractors that can help keep our project moving.

Sellers may see this as beneficial to themselves, and believe that buyers will build these pre-disclosed facts into the contract price (and thus sellers may be reluctant to provide any credits for these defects).The buyer elects to perform inspections on the property as agreed upon in the contract.

I’ve found a few off market duplexes in Milford too, closing on my third next week.

Unfortunately, either way it involves a) trusting a third party, like a syndicator; b) landlording; or c) dealing with a property manager. 

My portfolio has performed beautifully for me in the past but I’m concerned about a future SF earthquake and wondering about the opportunity cost of staying in San Francisco relative to investing elsewhere.

When debating statistical performances then the game becomes how to display the metrics.  

The second house we spent $10,000 remodeling both bathrooms and the third house we spent about $17,000.
