Unless they are all (or majority) B+ or higher properties.

In another note, he said that Jerry Cohen and his nephew Scott Cohen were convicted of a major rental fraud scheme in Philadelphia in 1999.If you look at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds website, EquityBuild is the Grantor/Grantee on 190/160 properties respectively in the Chicagoland area.

Like someone mentioned earlier, a major event like gentrification or other factor would be needed to push values up.

hi everyone,my name is Antonio M. i am from NYC. i have always been very interested in starting a career in REI. i currently work for a major insurance company doing auto damage assessment in NYC. my wife and I currently own a 2 family home. i joined this site bc i want to soak up as much information as possible. my wife and I have comfortable decently paying jobs but we are a bit burdened with college loans...our current goal is to pay off all debt so we can focus all our money into purchasing cash flow producing real estate. i hope to learn much from all of you here and soon start setting up a good future for my 19month old son. if you could take a look at my first post it would be great. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/608311-newbie-have-idea-of-using-heloc-to-supercharge-my-rei-start

The majority of 1st time buyers I work with are either getting a monetary gift, loan or financial advise from family.

If there is going to be any major effect, most serious investors should welcome that.

Can anyone refer they're preferred CPA in Dallas that works closely with majority investors please :) and why they're recommended would be so helpful!!!!

coming out of Comfort Zone is major hurdle...As Gary Keller's quote on his book... " Anyone Can Do it...Not everyone will..."
