Some otherwise great property mangers get themselves in a bit of trouble simply because they grew too fast or spread themselves too thin.

I actually grew up in Riverside off La Sierra.  

@Darrin CareyI grew up in Centerville.  

I grew up right around the surrounding downtown area, so if there's any knowledge that I can give  to this community (which is probably relatively small at this point) it would be how certain neighborhoods feel.

I'm sure at this point you've already run the comps and are familiar with what you should be able to garner from a low, mid, and high-season perspective but if you ever wanted to chat or if you wanted me to run another comp analysis for you, I am more than happy to do so :)PS: I am a fellow Washingtonian :) I grew up in the Tri-Cities!

Hello,So there are 2 main ways to do real estate business fix and flip and rent it out.If i invest 100k in ETF i will probably get 160k in 5 years.As for real estate if i invest in 4 homes paying the downpayment of 25k for each home and if the value of each 100k property grew to 125k i would have double my investment a little better then with the ETF`s.I would need to know besides not finding tenants what other things could go wrong some examples of why it is so risky.

I say thumbs down on both Lynn (where I was born) and Chelsea (where I grew up, and owned rentals til recently)....but living in Montgomery County has probably turned me into a bit of a snob.  

I grew up in the West (CA, OR, WA) and though I enjoyed my formidable years, the changes (Prices, politics, people, etc) to these areas are far from desirable to us now but that's another discussion for another day. 

This happened because many of the deals they invested in doubled, tripled or even quadrupled and have also done many re-fis or supplemental loans along the way that grew their portfolio exponentially. 

I actually grew up on the peninsula.
