Rinse, lather, repeat.Of course, we all know that a $2,000/mo rental does NOT always produce $20,000 in NOI, but it doesn't matter, so long as the hedge funds can get their REITs and pension funds to analyze the data in the same incorrect way.

Seems like another good way to diversify and produce additional income.

Buy your properties over the course of a year or two - make sure they are actually producing as planned before jumping into the next deal.

I do have two rental properties that will produce about 380 dollars in equity per month.

Never understood why the producers of these shows think people want to watch screaming and yelling?

The raw land had never been developed, so it never even produced income, but I believe that would be acceptable as the relinquished property in a 1031 exchange.

Between rents and selling properties at a premium would be two catalysts for these future REITs being able to produce pretty good dividends?

No damage has happened to the foundation yet so it has not produced a problem yet, however I am going to get it fixed which the bank does not want to take care of.

Agreed with that - but credit REPORTS tell the story; scores are just a number being produced that makes a lender happy ...This particular tenant applicant is working on getting a loan, so the credit score would have to be decent to get the loan approved.

Curious as to what steps/formulas you guys use to properly evaluate whether or not a home will produce cashflow and increase in value.
