The reason I ask is that I've spent months ready, saving, learning, saving, combing listings etc.... and I'm getting to the point where I'm analyzing some deals, spending time in markets I'm interested in and really just getting used to the process.My next step I would like to do is start meeting with some agents/brokers and find some people I can connect with so that when something does pop up and things make sense, I have those people to help. 

And in another decade what you mentioned will fade and something else will pop up..  

I joined Bigger Pockets as the blogs kept on popping up on Google for every question I had on real estate, and the information so far has been invaluable.

As you scale, it will likely make sense to move this job in-house as it is a $12 - 14/hr job and $200 per pop adds up fast.I don't see very many agents hire a straight up assistant unless they have built some kind of empire.

I have a down spout that is hooked to a plastic pipe that goes under the driveway and empties out into a pop up emitter in the yard .

There are a number of value add deals that will pop up from time to time.

No different that Walmart or any mom and pop store that has to RAISE their prices due to "shrinkage" i.e.

And you can't service the lower segement with new construction; it's financially not feasable.I was helping someone yesterday to make a decision about a relativley large single family rental, because he was worried if there would be damand for it and if he could rent a 4BR 2200sqft home with nice yard for $2,200 - turns out, that nearby 2 BR apartemnets rent for more than that, the larger floorplans in the high 2000s and if you want to have 3BR it says call for price.IMO that is a bubble in the makings, perhaps still not ready to pop yet, but when it does, we will see rents drop, because they have to fill their vacancies, which in turn will put pressure on lower priced units, which can't offer the same anemnities.

Its an easy fix.Another sign that it’s blocked is that the toilet water will sometimes pop out from the bowl, up over the seat when flushed.

I'm excited to see how it all plays out, but I'm bullish on seeing more of this pop up over the next decade.
