Other students have told us that Ryan Woolley one of the founders has bad mouthed his students to brokers.

For this post, I am trying to find out more about the real estate market local to me.

Here in Chicago (Illinois) you can only wholesale (market for sale) one property per year without having your real estate license.

As we start to do a deep dive of the market, we would like to connect with fellow investors to get the lay of the land, insights on where to start poking around, areas to avoid, what strategies are working for them, etc.

Look at their marketing strategy.

of course you have to handle the inquiries… but it’s pretty easy… we’ve done it multiple times.Your 6% appreciation approximation is less than the 7% average return the stock market  does long term - and lately it has been blowing that figure away - though as they say - past performance doesn’t equal future performance. 

I believe IB is likely to out perform the San Diego general market.  

Perhaps to the tune of $2-$3k per month or more.Your property will, in average market conditions, appreciate. 12-24 months after house hacking you ideally will find yourself in the favorable position of having 5-10% equity through loan amortization and appreciation.

What markets are you looking at for STRs?

The short term rental market in our area has been doing really well over the past year and we feel this property is a destination unto itself.
