It is the tech hub where house prices are soaring. 1% rule other areas are possible but not in strong appreciating markets.

Not sure if I’m kidding myself either  but I want additional income streams and I want them to grow over time.  

@Scheherazarde Roddie you can use Zillow as a free resource but if your willing to pay for more data pro stream can also be used to help you pull comps.

If you have other income streams that you can personally strengthen it's likely best to focus on those streams while continuing to invest in professionally managed BIG deals!
