I would start working on getting some good stable cash flowing properties.

Louis County, is currently reviewing an ordinance that would prohibit short-term property rentals because, according to the Crestwood City Administrator, the City wants “stable residents living in the community, adding to the quality of life here, walking on the streets, obviously there’s a safety concern there, there’s a property value concern.”

I think the biggest thing was the time you didn't have income that was stable enough, but that's obvious.

If you can still achieve 93% occupancy or more AND you've got that added bonus that nearly all student's leases are cosigned by a more financially stable parent or guardian, I think student housing can still be a good niche.

Off the shelf rentals in anything close to decent condition aren't hitting the 1% rule anywhere in Utah including Ogden.The way we're doing it is by purchasing physically distressed properties and rehabbing them.  

I don't agree with investing in a more "stable" real estate environment.

I wouldn't call that a bad thing because the properties are seeing an improvement via renovations and there is a stable market for lower-income properties.I think the major perk to investing in the rust belt is the security in ROI.

I believe more in the diversified portfolio in markets that are more stable. 

    3-5x last years EBITDA might be a reasonable starting point, for a stable company with modest growth, organized operations, and clean books.  

It’s not the most stable line of work.Anyhow, a year ago I found some well paying consulting gig that could be done via my trusty MacBook.
