The stock market has been on a tear this year… so if you could make 25% on your money in the stock market (as has been the case year to date), you are better off leaving your mortgages in place and investing the money in ETF’s, etc.  

@Karl KauperManayunk, East Falls, Roxborough, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, and University City are safe neighborhoods with diverse populations and strong rental markets.

I see virtually no chance that it does not outperform the general San Diego market which historically has outperformed 90%+ of markets.

I'm particularly passionate about off market deals and adding short term rentals to our portfolio. 

The Real Estate “Market” will rise till 2022-2024 or so, THEN SELL ALL…

@Michael Snider-Held we hear stories like this all the time in the LTR market about the national companies.These companies are setup to make money, period, with little oversight from management.So, owners need to make sure they read management contracts and UNDERSTAND what is covered and not covered. 

I've seen quite a few car washes on the market and they've always been operated/maintained by the owner.

When looking in markets where the prices of homes sold is private and not provided , how are you running your comps?  

I realize markets come into play but I would just like a general idea.

There is always this question that is debated of "What's the best market to invest in if you are investing out of state?"
