Learning about lending is time consuming, frustrating and expensive.

It's certainly more time-consuming but overall I think it gives you a much better sense of the market you're looking in than some of the online calculator models.

Keep your insurance, just have them adjust yourautomobile to fewer miles or just comprehensivecoverage.

Then I would have six properties each cash flowing about $200 a month for a total of $1200 so I'd lose about $800 cash flow monthly.You won't find a ton of people who agree with my strategy, but I like to have fewer properties on smaller mortgages.

It has really become too time consuming. 

REI isn't a consumable.

Consumer electronics company TomTom (you know, the guys that make those small GPS thingamajigs for your car's dashboard) released its new study and L.A. is ranked number one in the United States when it comes to congestion.

We have a similar situation in Milwaukee - median sales prices have gone up 10.26% in 2020 YoY, rents have increased only about 1.2% YoY.Investors are part of that dynamic, more properties rented means fewer owner occupied and that is shifting competition from rentals to purchase.Purchase affordability is still better than it was in the 1990s and 2000s, thanks to higher wages and lower interest rates.

I'm wondering if the in-house team has fewer insurance, bond, or licensing costs than the other contractors you are getting quotes from.

I will check out Zillow and realtor.com for sure, they are just much more time consuming I’ve come to find out as I can’t filter for not being a 55+ or country club on Zillow which is what a huge amount of properties are in my price range.
