If you can get in early/now I'd guess you'll be in a great spot 5 years down the road, but unfortunately I need new batteries for my crystal ball so I don't know for sure.....

All told each group has their own pro's and cons that I don't think anyone stands out as a "best" option based purely on marital and child status.  

I hope at some point Nevada Securities Commission will look into this case because this is pure play ponzi. 

At $800k sale price, the Marathon property would still produce a 6-cap, definitely not as appealing from a pure investment standpoint, but there are other reasons to consider buying even at that price...see image below:)  @John D.

It’s somewhat easier to do if you’re a pure investor, a little, or a lot more difficult if investing IS your business.

What I mean by that is that you’re banking purely on property appreciation, which cannot he predicted or guaranteed.

The most profitable investments on LTR that I have seen from a purely CoC perspective have been SFH rent by the room situations (for LTR).

Later in the year I will be doing this again to find a pure rental.

If it is a pure rental property, having 2 renters  gives you a little assurance that if one side of the unit is empty, you can still earn income off the other side to help cover your expenses.  

That would pay for the units in about a year and everything after that is pure profit.
