I'd rather plan on 5-6% and be surprised when it turns out to be higher, than have it swing the other way though.  

@Clark Kahawaii If you could swing 5% down I would compare FHA terms to conventional.

I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I can't see a huge swing one way or another in anything like oil that impact the whole market.This posttalks about inflation. 

Funny thing... apparently, the tenant's didn't love having me swing by. 

That said, you can swing to 60% pretty easily so you’ll want to take a peak at a T12.

You have enough capital to exceed your rents, but it'll never come close to the up or down swing you'll see here.

@Leon Henry Can you swing the 25% down?

I've only recently begun investing in ABQ, but I like NE heights, Taylor Rach, and Golf Course for my buy and holds. 

Consider whether you might not be able to swing a house hacking a place that needs some cosmetics, and renting out rooms.
