The reality is, they are out there in some meaningful significance.  

The reality is, you are going to have to put money down to buy properties, regardless of your exit strategy. 

Next time up tough we will not do a full wrap porch.. framing in that market is almost double what we pay in ORegon.. this one sold at 292k within 3 days on market. with a 17% net profit end of the day.We currently have 5 more going and one is the subject of the reality show "southern charm" I will update that one once we see the video from the production company it should be pretty cool.

When in reality, a scuff on the garage door doesn't matter.

An unnecessary path IMO.Thinking in terms of a turn key operation, frankly, you may have issues in reality, investors are usually concerned with getting a tenant out if they don't pan out, after all, they didn't qualify them.

But as we use the property less, and the idea of renting it out more is becoming more of a reality signing up with a management company is sounding more appealing.

The reality is that it takes a very committed effort over a period of time.  

Thank you to all who make this website possible and to @Joshua Dorkin for having dream and taking the courage to follow that dream and making it a reality.

Luck has nothing to do with reality. 

I think we have a couple more good years in the apartment world, but I'm also thinking we are going to see a year soon where rates go up 200-300 basis points in a year and the multifamily Acquisitons world shuts down until sellers accept the new reality.
