@Kelly A. prop 10 is so bad on so many fronts for landlords and future tenants that I cannot even comprehend all of the ramifications.  

In your opinion would it be a better strategy to invest passively in a market like Brooklyn which is appreciating very rapidly average returns of 10-20% cash on cash.Or to invest in low income neighborhoods in Philadelphia and buy 2 family houses making around 20%-30% but not much future growth.I like the idea of building my own portfolio but I have limited access to capital and I don’t want to have a lot of partners to worry about.Any insight would be greatly appreciated.Heshie

I would like my CapEx number and repairs estimates to be a bit more concise in the future.. atleast not a percentage of gross income but rather a hard estimated number I'd allocate on a consistent basis.

It sounds like you started with no money out of pocket, so by selling, you could pay back the investor, helping solidify that relationship for future deals, and will also hopefully have some cash in hand to allow you to go after the next project potentially on your own.

I may consider in the future if vacancy rates are low and in B Class neighborhoods. 

I am going to try direct mail marketing in the near future.

I do plan on adding some of our income over time to future projects.

In the event that they can sell recreational marijuana in the future, it may increase a different kind of traffic, but I wouldn't worry about crime as much as other tenants in the center not being a good match if it's not free standing. 

And thabk you for future input.So, i have a property here in las vegas bought about 11/2 years ago for exactly 270,000 (owe 242,000 on it now).The houses (including my own) now valued around 340-370 (mine on zillow says 355k) my home is a 4 bed 3 bath 2560 sqft 2 story build 2015 (has 10 yr builder warranty) corner house in gated community...My original plan was to live in it while we settled into vegas, then rent it out and go buy another house however not only is the market here in vegas at an unknown is it going to continue to go up or down etc.
