I'm happy to help.Beyond that, I'm now regularly blogging about Detroit (check profile) and truly believe there a massive dislocation with pricing because people still have a negative perception of the city and don't understand all the amazing things happening there on the ground.Happy to connect and chat!

Are you suggesting you don't believe the housing bubble really burst around 2008 and that there really wasn't a massive financial collapse and recession?

A massive increase in condoization removing units from the rental market.

Stack away those savings to use as a down payment on your next property, and you can move out and rent your unit one day and experience a massive surge in cash flow.Plus, since it will be your primary residence you will be capital gains exempt when you sell if you live in the property for at least 2 years!

They're having a hard time justifying making the move... which is quite silly indeed:In sum, my opinion is that it's a great time to invest in real estate, and the high housing cost in the Bay Area is driving literally tens of thousands of people to our city of Sacramento, and if you get in front of the demand you'll experience some awesome appreciation and some massive rent increases, and laugh out loud all the way to the bank :-)

The federal reserve cannot contract the money supply because housing is a massive share of the economy anymore, along with all the support services that go along with it.

The massive amount of growth we’re seeing in the region is like nothing Ohio, let alone Columbus has ever experienced before. 

Bottom line there is a REASON these assets can be bought wholesale for 5 to 15k that your paying for them.. there is a reason for that.. and the reason is RISK these are highly risky investments prone to massive failure because of unmanageable tenant base.. and its not just Indyits anywhere in the country working with the lowest common denominator of tenant and Asset.at least as I say in my experience of funding a few thousand of these and working in these areas since 2001.What I like about the new crop of Turn key most of them have upped their game and just don't deal with this asset class anymore as they learned the hard way how tough it really is.. .And here you are trying to build a model around it.

If I am a homebuyer buying today as opposed to 8 years ago, I have seen massive price inflation.

It probably stems from the fact that my real estate investor parents are very frugal, and I grew up sorting our garbage into burnables and non-burnables, saving everything, and never spending money unless it were heavily discounted or a tremendous value (hello all you can eat buffets).
