Land values have been inflated to ridiculous levels lately.

Quote from @LeeAnn Owens: do your research, it doesn’t actually keep up with increasing costs of housing and other necessities Please indicate an employment sector that HAS kept up with the ridiculous inflationary increases over the last three years. 

Now, let me ask you a question, why would a working professional want to stay in an extremely overpriced city such as LA, NY, SF, or Miami having to pay ridiculous rents and not being able to purchase their own house.

So please understand, asking a singular question about the Twin Cities like is it a good place to invest is just ridiculous and impossible to answer, it's YES, NO and all points in between.

This is getting too ridiculous.

Secondly, I would never pay $230K for this property because it is totally overpriced- public records show that it was last sold for $145K, a little over a year ago, so $230K is a ridiculous price- I think this would be a good example for our "Investing in Huntsville" discussion- I would like to understand why this may not work if I could negotiate the price down, hopefully- Is this a rough area?

Is it just me, or is this completely ridiculous.

You'll learn a lot more about what is important in life than spending ridiculous amount of money on innocuous details when you can hire that crap out to someone else who loves it.

If you would spend more time reading and less time posting ridiculous nonsense that is intended to inflame the forum, you would have read that most of my low income tenants ARE WHITE (because most of the population in my area is white).

Paying 10% for PM on this type of property would be ridiculous and probably self manageable, even from a distance, so that fee can be erased.
