It is VERY relationship driven.

Price is driven by the market.

from my point of view turn key is basically interchangeable.. since the mantra is there is little to no appreciation and if you get it its icing on the cake.. so its cash flow driven.. how do you get cash flow . you buy the best rentals possible and put them with the best PM you can get.

I am very excited and driven to find my very first REI property.

Back in the day, Atlanta was crazy amazing for returns (I bought like crazy then) but since then it's become very eaten up from investors and the prices were all driven quite high.

Hi @Ajay A. I

There is still demand, but this demand it driven by speculation, not by fundamentals.

This have driven prices up and returns down.

New Haven is a very different investment location than Hudson County (in my opinion)--obviously much less driven by the proximity to NYC, and (in most areas) less of an expectation of rapid appreciation than here.There are a couple meetup groups in the area--there's one in Hudson County that I host with another BP member that you're welcome to attend.

People that are uncertainty/variety driven don't like the "tied down" aspect of owning a home, more likely to default or be short term.
