Cap rates are still pretty decent in vegas and rents are increasing.

I don't want to use a site that is going to mean increased competition.

Currently I am reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and listening to Bigger Pockets and other podcasts to increase my Financial IQ.  

I am willing to invest the time and money to increase my knowledge. 

I did a google search and found a few companies that offer numbers/reports for money, and also went to the TXDOT website but was thoroughly confused.I also want to be able to see if the traffic has been steadily increasing or decreasing over the past few years. 

Pros: monthly cash flow, a vacancy won’t hurt as bad, increase in rent across all units results in a notable increase in cash flow. 

While the low down payment costs are what entices many veterans to jump on that loan , it will significantly increase your PITI and ultimately thats more money you would have to pay interest on, even 1% down can prevent thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan.Best of luck and feel free to reach out for anything I can help with!

But I wanted to ask all of you what your inventive ideas are in times with increasing rates.Thanks!

In the past I did so, but as rents expired I've increased rents over the past couple of years.
