lol Problem is the credit card cost them future money in a negative way with interest rates and the assets they buy expensive car and other clothes and furniture etc. are depreciating at a fast pace.I looked over at some of my neighbors pouring tons of money into their house and thinking this superficial stuff they are never getting back dollar for dollar.

You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

I would recommend speaking with someone that can offer insight into what the negatives will be with investing.DON'T JUMP IN TOO QUICKLY!!

I have been looking for multi family units but the cash flow around the area seems to be in the negative for rentals.

On the other side of that coin though there are a couple of high rise complexes going in so I suspect that next year or the following year they will be flat if not a bit negative.

If a person looks at the stuff you've been posting recently, they will see that a very high percentage of it was blatantly wrong, whether we're taking about gay marriage statistics or rental properties.

I don’t wish to sound negative but I’ve become jaded and would like hear something positive, read something selfless, see something that you did that positively effected someone in RE.Seriously, outside of this site have any of you (meaning any self described coach, mentor, or guru) done anything selfless?

For me, interest rates would have to jump at least 1.5% for it to have a negative effect.  

To me there is more of a positive side then a negative.  

If you bought an investment property today, put a long term tenant in there, and the property cash flows for you, this should not negatively impact you when buying your forever home.
