@Sharon Tzib Do you think that the SFR rentals will suffer due to the apartments being built, or just saturate that segment of the market?

I wont sell my properties until they have paid for themselves two times over and they reap the reward of the homes being worth at min double my initial investment when I sell.

This book is worth its weight in gold, and is something that I will continue to re-read throughout my career(along with my Real Estate Fundamentals and Practices book).I was also pleased to find out that all proceeds of the book sales goes to fund Alzheimer's research(my uncle suffer's from this terrible affliction).I thought I would share my impression of this outstanding book, as I found that it assembled all the pieces of the real estate puzzle for me.Thank you to Rich Weese for sharing your years of successSebastian

Truth is you wont know until you've tried.

Also be advised you wont be able to use the income of the rental as well to qualify one year down the road..

I have tried to make offers before where the agent refused to make it for me.This way,I know the owner will see it.I will make many offers in this fashion and wont have to keep going through the frustrating process of waiting on an agent.

lol  You mean you made me suffer through the weekend of thinking we had 2 0 deal weeks in a row?!?!

An outdated house built in the 70s-80s in well kept condition is worth more to a buy/hold investor because they wont' rip out what's clearly dated, while you would if you were going to flip the property. 

I say report them because they should not be rewarded for breaking the rule, while honest peoples suffered because we have dignity.  

So I don't want to go out and rent and lose money, so that is why I am thinking of a strategy where I could get a house, rent out couple of rooms or close to that so at least we wont be congested and at the same time it will be an investment.
