Finally, since beta and Monte Carlo derive a lot of their parameters from historical data, how have you over come the black swan problem in your modeling? 

example last year we found a strict foreclosure no one was tracking it.. we tracked down the owner in a MHP park in Salem ( needed skip tracing) negotiated a deal.. hoarder house extreme but in lake Oswego Or it was 2 lots  lots alone are worth 300k each.. so we snagged it for 225k.. cash of course dealt with the attorney who was foreclosing .. spent 60k on demo.. and now we are going vertical with 1.2 million dollar houses. all because of that app.we are on another one that is a semi probate type of deal with multiple properties .. 

Would it be better to invest in Ogden or Salt Lake City Utah using the rest of my VA benefits...

With a few exceptions along the lake shore (downtown is growing vertically) most of the growth happens on the outskirts of the metro area in the 4 surrounding counties.

You can find the right person to be your mentor by going to local REI meet ups, we have one next week here at Lake of the Ozarks.

Welcome to BP @josh @Josh Auzenne I would send you a link to connect with other local Lake Charles investors, but such links are forbidden. 

I dont know about others but sounds like you have your retirement home already 18 acres and private stocked lake that is way cool.. think about your joy of living there as well. got to stop and smell the roses along the way.as for the other stuff just a numbers game and what you feel is worth your time and risk profile along with dealing with the public.. is it more fun to deal with RV folks.. or is it more fun to deal with M to M renters who may have some drama etc.. ??

I’m in the northern burbs (Lake County).
