So as prices on real estate rise, the potential rent to that property does not rise at that same proportion.However, just because the price/rent ratio gets worse in some of these high income areas...does not necessarily mean a property will be a bad investment.

Market is on fire and on the rise.

A property valued at $340,000 and rising with a measly rental income starting at $1700 will never cash flow positive.

Even worse still is a manager who is dishonest, and could bill you right into bankruptcy.Find your key people, then if they are that good they could probably help you find a great deal as well.Very true.the business rises or falls to the level of the people

Would a seasoned real estate agent who knows the market in atlanta would say that the area is going to go through a resurgence and that the houses in the area would rise in value because of the planned development.2.

@Valerie Hiscoe I have also invested in Richmond also and I knew the prices would rise in BC a few years back esp. what from what I have seen in Sydney Australia which is a similar city. 

Of course prices keep rising.  

Rise days may be gone but I think you will be able to find someone. 

When you consider HOA fees will rise combined with special assessment risks and possible interest rate rises this investment without appreciation is probably not going to cash flow long term.

I will be going medium/high end for the finishes as the market goings to rise for condos in Eastie.
