However, I also think that rent range is volatile in Buffalo should/when the next market downturn take place, as the folks paying $1500-1800 may be looking for $1000-1200, but that is really tough to predict.

Really tough to say and hard to predict.

That essentially gives you 1.5 - 2 times rent predicted now.

I am a Tesla driver, and a Tesla stock owner so I look for more than one reason ; ) but the main appeal as it relates to Coolidge is yes 100% all the potential jobs it will bring to the area and I also hope it spurs other clean energy and or technology companies to come to the area as well.

Since my parents have retired and the uncertainty of the stock market (where all their investments are at) I'm trying to help them by putting their liquidity to use.

One here in Oakland, another in Los Angeles.We of course cannot predict the future, but in the above case I just "assumed" that rates don't move one iota between now and a month or two from now.Getting the HELOC first, or getting the HELOC concurrently, priced out with the 1st position 30YF being 0.375% higher (holding constant all fees etc) compared to getting the refinance done first, and then getting the HELOC as a distinct separate transaction.

It allows them to take profits in the fall and rise again of their stocks.

I always stress test my investments to predict whether they can weather an economic storm.At the end of the day, this might be an indicator, but it also might not.

I don't know that anyone can predict the housing market 10 years from now. 

I thought that when referring to CoCROI one was not supposed to include the mortgage payment but I've seen people such as Brandon do it when comparing an investment to the stock market in one of his YouTube videos.Thanks!
