The new Wholesaling Law is aimed at protecting consumers and has a desire to regulate the real estate broker profession.

Sacramento only looks like a good deal to people who live in the Bay due to the relative differences in price.. but objectively, stuff here is a 4-7 cap and you should be aiming for 10-12.

I'm moving to Kalamazoo next month and was analyzing some deals and have to say there are A LOT of rentals aimed at college students. 

This is my aim for this series of posts.

(We did opt to get some supplemental landlord insurance for a mere $300/yr. just for added protection.)

I aim at 60,000 to 70,000 to buy a property there.

It is supplemental income, for her and she is not going to make major repairs. 

You should really aim to get a tenant deposit in 30 days.

I am not...I like big Hotels like the Wynn/Encore in Las Vegas.I am also not seeing the AirBnb owners complaining about this (or any other Demographic) creating problems any different than anyone else--stolen wash cloths, broken mixer, etc...Also Oregon is doesn't seem like a very black populace place....Are black people now streaming there to go live in the "Back of the Woods".It's probably just AirBnB SJW posturing --look at how I am not a racist--kind of stuff...aimed at others who do the same kind of thing.And if you think an owner has discriminated against you (no matter what group you belong to)....Wouldn't you really want that to happen because by forcing them to take your money---you enrich the people who don't like you... at the end of your stay...they are richer and you are poorer...

We'd love to hear others' thoughts on the risk/reward profile of each and anything we haven't yet considered:Value-Add Apartment SyndicationsPROSHigher return potential (most pro-formas I've read aim for 13-18% IRR over the life of the investment) due to value-add componentSpecific market and asset risk is short-term (most funds aim to sell properties in 3-7 years, after value-add is complete)Can fairly easily spread risk across multiple assets and markets using a syndication fundInvestment opportunities (at least at the moment) seem to be readily available from many different syndicatorsPortfolio risk from individual unit vacancy is minimal (although nationwide eviction moratoriums and neighborhood/regional factors can still present a risk)No impact to personal credit.
