The biggest tissue producer told U.S. and Canadian customers that it’s raising prices for most of their consumer products to offset “significant” commodity cost inflation (i.e. lumber), with percentage increases in the mid-to-high single digits.

I will absolutely be in contact, it will be great to discuss objectives and strategies.Thank you!  

If you're only objective is to sell your own properties, I would look for the cheapest firm to work with.

Pro-tip for this area, choose the area you like the best and is good for your pricing objectives.

@Irish Mac Start with identifying and quantifying your objective.

But this should be something that I need to get more comfortable with now since we live in a digital world.

@Michael You -- While these reports are a little old, the Sacramento Rental market is fantastic for investors right now.http://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2016/05/04/apartment-rents-growing-at-double-digit-rates.htmlhttp://www.kcra.com/article/why-apartment-rents-are-surging-in-sacramento/6502472http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2016/11/17/sacramento-affordable-housing-wait-list-hits-36000/I have completed some research for the Sacramento Area Multifamily properties currently available for sale, and will direct message you with a list of the top performers.

It would be very hard to have rental income as your only source of income, unless you owned a large # of units (well into the double digits).I used to take money out of my buildings, but after year after year of "something" happening with the properties I learned it's best to leave most of the money in the property as reserves for "must do" repairs or "should really to at some point" improvements.The real benefit of real estate, compared to other forms of investing, is appreciation, with an important secondary one being the tax benefits (offset up to 25K of ordinary income with rental losses, 1031 exchanges to defer tax on gains when selling, etc.)That's why people often call real estate a "get rich slowly" scheme.

Obviously I have no objections to this!

I've listened to untold hundreds of hours of podcasts, digital books, etc, and you'd sure think that I was just ready to jump right in head-first.
