I highly recommend Brandon and Heather Turner’s book, “The Book on Managing Rental Properties.”

Lots of pockets showing high demand and infrastructure growth. 43609 is getting better and better and even too expensive in some parts…Further East of 43611 is turning43610 has nice streets 43605 border of Oregon and heart of Birmingham are great 43607 Scott Park is very interesting and use to be rough.

I don’t get that kind of return from my 401k.

The cost of entry is low while the cash flow is high

The mortgage market is healthy so there are several ways for income to be calculated including but not limited too: full income verification of two years W-2's or tax returns, 1-2 years of a 1099, average deposits of 12-24 months of personal or (50%) of business bank statements, an up to date P&L, DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) or rental income (investment properties only). - Appraisal.

But an analysis of the numbers will show you what your comparative net returns will be at current rent/mortgage rate. 

So for the wealth builder, a projected 20% return on a passive equity investment is better than a 10% income return on a passive debt investment.  

The next morning he returned and found nothing wrong with the unit after tracing the lines for a freon leak. 

I think Dave Ramsey(who I respect but don't worship, lol) would be highly disappointed in me for even thinking about doing this, SMH.

I advise people to hold property forever unless they can move the money into another investment that produces a greater return or moves them closer to their goals.
