Amie: in desirable areas with limited inventory (no new construction, no inbuilding) you'll always see property values that don't make rentals a good investment.

For now, all the inventory on mls is snapped up by the big hedge funds.

The central heat/air for the lower level I'll plan on keeping at 78 this summer.

Their seems to not be too much inventory on MLS or not in the targeted areas I would like.

But an inventory also helps.

My rent is $1300.Total Monthly Expense: $1100.The current fair market rent: $1000 - $1200.Current market value is $135k - $140k and rising due to record low inventory.40 minute drive one way to property, my plan is to have all my rentals within a 20min drive, so I do plan on sell this one day.My tenant just informed me that they can no longer afford the rent and is looking to move out.If they move out, it would take me 3-5 weeks + cost to find a new tenant.

What I cannot understand is why sellers would ever give them inventory.

As Ned points out you have limitations, finances and education, the lack of one means you need more of the other.Another limitation is your market, if you have a small inventory of possible rehab properties, you're limited in the number you can do.

I don't know if you think much of it, but I was born in central Russia - cold :)

To speed up the learning process of wholesaling , rehabbing , cash flow , save on marketing expenses, etcIt seems to me when a group is working in a team environment brings faster learning and actual real results. ( again just my personal feelings – but everyone leans differently )I hope one day they put together a team among themselvesWe’re talking maybe Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers , San Antonio spurs, Chicago Bulls or Milwaukee Bucks central division leaders back in 80’s caliber local team.
