I am a new investor moving to West Palm Beach FL at the beginning of August.

I think Hong Kong has been haemorrhaging value lately and I live in London so can share some numbers I was just running today because we are deciding whether to do more property here or in the US:I was a bit shocked by my results -- even though I had heard from posh friends who bought in central London around the time of the Brexit referendum that they negotiated discounts of 10% the day after the vote and since then their property fell another 10%.But I was kind of shocked to see the flat / negative return over 7 years in those 2 posh areas.

Pay them a flat fee and call it a day regarding the Realtor.

I'd want to look at the condition of the roof and would look for bad/cracking asphalt or concrete  in the parking areas, fading/peeling/chipping paint, condition of the landscape, burnt out light bulbs, excessive trash, and general lack of upkeep in common areas like the laundry room if there is one.

Looking for a DSCR in excess of 1.2.Last deal had a DSCR of 1.46, but that may be hard to duplicate right now.Thanks,Scott 

He really helped me unlearn and break through a lot of the inaccurate or just flat out incorrect ways of thinking about money and material things that are common with lower income families (again, like my family's past). 

Not to mention the flatness of TX.

He sold a house in Sacramento with fat equity and bought a number of rental properties with the proceeds;  midwest properties with 50 years of flat line growth, that all have great cash flow. 

Then, I'd start analyzing properties excessively until you're comfortable with the math behind a good rental property.

"Twisting", "rolling", and other similar words tend to describe movement in excess of normal foundational settling in most contexts.
