But once you get past that temporary challenge you'll run into another: your chosen market.  

Appreciation 100% based on NOI.For a 5 year time frame I would not gamble on or rely on SFH appreciation.

I've chosen for the city since I do know several builders there and, the metrics are good as wel with a growing population and stable and growing economy.We're doing our first initial few investments in several smaller properties the coming months before bringing in big funds hopefully by the end of this year.Before heading there I do want to be sure to be working with the right people and work on my network.

I was searching around trying to find out how a BPO agent is actually chosen?

The agent may, in fact, be telling the truth and working in the buyer's best interest if the buyer doesn't want to gamble on a short sale.  

They got their loan and bought the house and the seller didn't have to lift a finger.It was a gamble for them but it paid off.

Home prices are insane here but you can still get some postive cashflow with a well chosen condo.

I worked in KC with Shaun Gamble from Veteran Home Inspection.

After 5 years, the original $1m could easily be $1.5, all the while earning much higher income than the $5,000 annuity or pension.All of this involves dealing with no tenants, toilets, or termites, it just requires educating yourself on real estate syndications in general and then on the lead investors behind particular syndications.When you and your spouse eventually go off to the pearly gates, if you've chosen the annuity / pension route, income ceases along with your pulse. 

I don't gamble on future appreciation.
