Just wanted to get peoples opinions about this idea. 

There are many good people under these programs, but likewise there are many looking to sell a sob story.

In this week’s post, I am turning it over to Brent Voepel.I got into a conversation recently with people in the industry about the price of property management.

That trend has continued unabated.Now I see people commuting to Boston from Portland, Maine (!!!)

People expecting $200 per door per month in a b class neighborhood while financing with little to no renovation are going to be disappointed.

Totally agree with @Paul Moore and I think Self Storage and Mobile Homes don't get the same attention as Apartments because people, in general, don't really understand the asset classes, unlike apartments everyone gets the concept rather quickly. 

For most people, the goal is financial freedom.

Some people pull all the equity out of their rentals to buy more, others like to pay cash for them, others pay the mortgages down faster because perhaps they want them paid off when they retire, others just let the tenants pay them down over time.

Quote from @Dennis Gallof: You can always count on government programs to increase costs, increase time required, increase headaches, and typically fail to meet any stated goals.

Sit down anywhere and people would just start talking real estate.
