And I would take any article by the Guardian with a tremendous grain of salt given their far left of center stances and belief in Keynesian interventions in markets.  

You need to consider ALL the profit centers in REI (including cash flow) and consider them over the ENTIRE LIFESPAN of the investment, not just day 1 or the first year.

Hi BP,I recently came across a triplex in south Houston near Medical Center area.

Houston has the largest medical center in the world.

Centrally located 2 blocks away from Spencer center.

On another note, has anyone used their local small business development center to help with their real estate business?

Im still in oklahoma right now but my realtor just called me with a shopping center for sale on grant road in the NW sector inside the beltway.

Okay great, looks like I have another date with the civic center.

This one seems to be centered around helping others grow their business rather than funding real estate.Interesting that I found this in the FAQ: Do I have to be an accredited investor to invest on NextSeed?

Appreciate the feedback @Patsy Waldron, this property is very near the town center area and may very well be the one you have seen yourself....now waiting to find out just how desperate the seller may be.Thanks!
