If you borrow a lot of private money for several rentals, having them all be non recourse might benefit the lenders in the event that one of the deals goes south...if walking away from the bad one allows you to survive and continue servicing the remaining loans.

I reduced 80% of my stress and opportunities for a deal to go south by investing in an asset class without Tenants.

Houma is about an hour south west of New Orleans.

Great to hear others thoughts and hopefully more to come Ryan Rutledge I really love the south and the growth potential, currently we are in the Greater St.

I have had success in investing in condos in South Beach, but it was all about timing.....they were acquired on the rebound from the real estate crash in a buyer's market/ Now prices for condos in South Beach are skyrocketing and the capital appreciation has been well worth the investment, even though the cash flow wasn't great (but still positive) over the years!

I have been a real estate investor in the KC metro for the last 4 years, doing all buy and hold investing and mostly in the south part of the metro.The Kansas City Market is really hot right now and many new investors are starting to flood the market, I don't know north of the river all that well, but in general the prices are very inline with a flipping strategy.

an operating agreement is basically the contract between you and your partner, and not an area i'd skimp on. the operating agreement is the guiding document that sorts though the rough times...should things go south. and they do, sometimes even with family ...

Now that said, those properties are selling for slightly less than they did 20 years ago and rent growth is south of the inflation rate, the population of the county they are located in has declined about 3% over the last 20 years.

Does anyone have any advice on the Clayton county area south of Atlanta.
