If I buy a long-term rental property and the cash flow i am receiving is average wouldn't it take a lot of time for me to earn enough to buy another rental property?

Yes there is more risk and a longer timeline from the start of the deal to exit but you should also be making significantly more than the average fix and flip for the effort to be worthwhile.

At least until they have a multi year relationship.To figure out cash flow do Gross rents - 30% (vacancy, maint, and capex) - PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) = long term average cash flow.

I'm curious as to whether investors are viewing the early 401k withdrawal as an opportunity to gain access to pre tax dollars, pay tax on them now at a lower rate and move them out of the market and into real estate.About a year ago we each moved half of our 401k into stable value waiting for an opportunity to buy back into the SP500 as our FA advised us the market was far above the historical average and was due for correction. 

Here is what they have listed on their site for their pro plans...Fast access to key rent metrics, including: Average Rent Median Rent Percentile (25th and 75th) Map View Sample Size Sample RadiusAND THEN THIS...Sample listing details: Rental Listing Prices Size (square footage) $ per Square Foot # of Bedrooms & Bathrooms Last Listing Date Quick links to Google Search and Street ViewBut it does not clearly show that they'll tell what people are currently paying as far as I can tell at the moment.

One thing I wanted to hit on was the REIT average price - sounds like this data was largely gathered from pretty high-end residential REITs, no?

I am thinking about investing in some longterm buy and hold rentals and was wondering what people are averaging or looking to get for cash flow in the Northwest area of Atlanta.

Pulled actual taxes history, and got an insurance quote so my numbers would be as close to reality as possible.I pulled up as many sales as I could find in the area going back 2 years for similar units (2 bedroom/1 bath) and found average price is $37,500 per unit.  

Vacancy rates across the state are between 1 and 2% on average suggesting low vacancy risk.

A 5% vacancy is your tenant staying for an average of 20 months.
