He is currently making the choice to not dive into it with you.

If you agree with this, then you can't make a bad choice as to which market (but you can still make bad choices as to which property, what financial terms, which strategy, etc.) and the best thing to do would be to move where you want to live and learn to invest there as a local.

Only thing I'd add is that people who have been around for a while tend to measure today against yesterday ("It's so much easier today than it was yesterday" or "the returns are lower than a few years ago") - it's human nature.But, it's not logical to base decisions off this thinking - we all have alternatives every day, and the only relevant data for an opportunity is TODAY compared with TOMORROW.  

Unless someone else here is a lawyer that has read those specific CC&Rs, I don't think we have a choice but to agree.

If they have stable jobs you can collect/garnish...But it all takes time...So Time or Money...Your choice....

If you only have $10,000 in equity, and it rents at $1,925/month, I'm willing to make a guess that you don't have a choice...your closing costs on the sale are going to eat up that equity and you may have to pay to get out of it.Your mortgage is at a good rate, but that's a tough position to be in.

We have been pushing for more licensing to remove the one time realtor / managers from screwing up our industry and profession of choice.  

This is a lifestyle choice - do you want to continue managing an asset or want something closer to "mailbox money"?  

Is everyone else making bad investment choices or am I just being too conservative?
