BP is a cash flow is king place, just look at all the posts asking "How do I get $10k/month in passive income" but when presented with that exact option, the consensus is take the cash and do a lot of work for an uncertain reward that is heavily dependent on your own skill.

Reward (RVR).

I don't like her bad behavior to be rewarded, but you all should have left back on the 1st when you couldn't pay the rent. 

You need to understand the local market fundamentals and drivers to understanding the underlying risk (versus reward).

Because I don't want to have to switch investment types every time legislation causes a problem or reward, I buy Asset Classes that is normally not targeted by legislation.So.... the point here is know your Asset Class VERY WELL... including possibility of future legislation.

Forget Seattle, invest where they appreciate your efforts and your risks and reward you for doing so.

I am definitely interested in cash flow, but would love to be able to better handicap the city so I can understand the different neighborhoods and risk/reward.

Interesting to hear what some people are doing to get into the housing market in SF.Long term planning, number crunching, and thinking about risk/reward deserves consideration.

Plus it is a job that will actually be challenging yet rewarding and which will do some real good in this world.2.13 an hour is about exactly what i earned in the early 70s bagging groceries..
