Anyone who isn't investing in Detroit now, I encourage them to continue to invest in the areas they are (more for us).Here is my track record of deals-(open challenge to anyone to provide better returns per $'s invested, no takers to date)https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_b5hu-UrEB...Here to discuss your flip strategy at your convenience.

They're using over 130% of the average usage rate and I don't want to continue to float this bill. 

I'm so thankful for this forum and all the wonderful advice y'all continue to provide.

Which scenario makes more sense, with $75K cash available:1) put $25K down on three separate SFR (in the mid-west) all priced at approx $100K each, that generate net cash flow of about $300 each = $900 total cash flow per month, or, 2) put the $75K down on one, nice $300K home, in a rapidly expanding market (LV, for example), in order to take advantage of the projected growth in the housing market over the next decade, even though there would be minimal, if any, cash flow while renting it out in the meantime. 

It might have areas that will continue to do well and others that will go down in its popularity so I would tend to look in areas close to home and that area in high demand, has a diverse economy, population rise, and job growth, and talking to experienced Agents and get their opinions if I was looking at it long term. 

@will g. thank you so much, it just gets hard to continue to put up the facade in front of your family when something is, actually, mentally breaking you. 

We’ve really appreciated having you here this past year and look forward to continuing our relationship with you.

Long story short, I'm drawn to a few of the MSAs in North Carolina for a number of reasons: population growth, job growth, climate, taxes, lower acquisition costs, and I'm a Jersey boy so I like the East Coast.
