The reason they have money for new cars is because you aren't holding them accountable.

If you love the idea of a real estate side hustle and being a landlord, then I would never discourage you.

There actually was training - not upsell - at his Boot Camps then, so I can't speak for today, but I highly recommend getting hold of his materials, even if on eBay.

It's hard to have private money for a holding property.

The idea that you can build wealth without putting any money into it is a recipe for disaster and the sales pitch of gurus trying to steal your money.

Try samples in tiny 4 ounce or peel and stick to get an idea how it looks at night, and during the day.

I really like the OKC market for buy and hold.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

HOWEVER, my question is: given our goals/strategy, when analyzing returns for potential deals on the single-family rentals, along with a relatively low cash-on-cash return of roughly 1-2% should we allow ourselves to consider/count on 1) modest appreciation growth of only 3% year over year, 2) expense increases mirroring the current CPI of 3.5% and 3) low rental upside of only 1% (or even 0% given current market conditions).For example, if a deal gives a TOTAL return of roughly 15% year over year for 10 years but only starts out at about 1% cash flow via long-term rents, is this a good idea?

I think it's a bad time to sell anything you are holding at 2.875% to buy something else at 7-8% unless it's a property you really don't need or want anymore.
