@Roy Mitle @Roy Mitle you can either do a steady increase deposits the market (say a consistent 3 percent a year or you can go with the market 2% one year and 5% another) most areas rentals are strong and rates are increasing so I would say no more then five percent then settle for no less then two percent.

It's super close, in path of progress, and you can find value (though I think the secret is out). 

I wouldn’t say it’s a bad idea, I also don’t think you need to follow some sort of imaginary guideline of progression. 

My properties are always a work in progress, as I like to keep them up.

I know a few investors in the area that invested down there; however, they aren't happy with the progress of the area.  

Luck favors the prepared.also she now has experience IE real estate in the path of progress is some of the best investments you can buy.. even if cash flow is not there or negative a little.. big money is made on movement in the asset values. 

add OKC to their portfolios for price point, insulation to recession, tax rates at around 1% and steady cash flow.A C class rental is 60-80k and you can consistently find 8% cap rates!

Just like income, a 401k withdrawal is taxed at a progressive tax rate on your income for that year.

Realtors might consider managing a few properties to create steady monthly income or to grow their potential client base.
