I am just looking for a broad estimate of the time period it should normally take to recoup your initial investment.

My intent was to put forth a broad concept that gets overlooked by many.But you knew that...and so would any reader without an agenda.I'm writing in concepts and your are attempting to bolster yourself by baiting...your not help yourself...or your book sales...going down that road.If you don't like hype...why do you put a picture of a wad of cash on the cover of your book?

I also recommend Julie Broad's book " More than cash flow... " it tells you the real story of REI, not the guru version.

Hello Jeffrey,(REI) covers a broad area and the market(s) only limited by your imagination and abilities.

Secondly, I think that OKC has done a great job over the last 20-30 years of broadening the spectrum of industry.

Here's a different Fannie offer strategy on the the other end of the spectrum which worked for me once on the only occasion I tried: Fannie has a record of terrible CMA's and high initial listing prices.

I know this seems pretty broad but someone out there has had to have been through this same dilemma...

they go err uhhh errr...The parent to child tax exemption is on the chopping block I bet... we will see..It feels disingenuous to place such a broad statement on a measure that has many different positives and negatives to it.

For duplexes and triplexes you might look on the north side of downtown (20th-30th street - ish) or a really easy single family househacking area is in Broad Ripple and around Butler.

Government officials will always side the lower end of the spectrum as they aremore pain in the behind rather than those people who can afford to lose a little or big, versus than that of them if they lose a little, will lose everything and government will have to spend for them, the government will try to avoid this cost if there is another alternative.
