I’m figuring it out just like everybody else but remember whatever business that you pick - you have to think about the ability to sustain it.

The housing market in Bend, OR has shot up so fast it's hard to imagine the area is going to be able to sustain so many new people long term.

I know I can draw some people to the beach during the summer, but need to sustain during the holidays and winter, as well.Thank you for sharing!

The price increase can't sustain the levels it has the last 3 years.

Good day BP it's a pleasure to be a part of your community I wanted to know if I can get a second opinion about a deal I was analyzing it seems to be a sustainable amount growth in the after repair value in this particular property  but it's such a high investment which makes me think there's a reason it's still on the market which pushes me away a little since I'm relatively new it's a 5BR 4Bath  very hot area great School District it needs a full rehab asking price is 653,000 is the cheapest house in that area considering there's work that needs to be done to it now there's a house up the street that's almost identicalat but is a 4BR 3Bath going for 1,267,000 just recently would I more then likely  be spending  over a 100,000 on a full rehab  in  a A class  neighborhood

Odds of you losing your job in a bad market is directly proportional to your tenants ability to pay or a crash in the housing market and if you have cushion to sustain that then of-course leverage and go for it.

Your goal should be that your lead schedules a time and calls you because your time and input is that valuable to them.Since your managing broker sounds "old school" I'll quote some Zig Ziglar, which is someone who probably resonates with him: "You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want."

It's not sustainable past a certain point, and when I get there my business model will change, but by then I'm sure I'll have hit my modest financial goals anyway.
