My husband and I lived in Phoenix for two years back in 2000 to 2002 and we have missed it ever since we moved from there.

Here is what we are told that differ from one another:1) know how to do multiple types of transactions, this way, you can take advantage of all leads and not miss out on any deals.

Rental insurance usually costs about $15-$25 monthly, sometimes less if bundled with their auto policy.We have dwelling and repairs covered, but because of forward thinking and a great insurance agent, we also have coverage for the missed rents due to the damage.

I'm paying myself.The down payment for this latest though is from a heloc; the cash flow is still there as outlined above but I am curious if I missed anything.

Have hit that goal 6 out of the 7 years (only missed it by one a couple years ago).Have some offers in now even though I don't technically have a financing spot for any more right now.Slow and steady wins the race.

Everything has gone pretty well so far, to the point where I find myself asking, "What am I missing, there must be a catch?"

there is a mixed use building in my hometown that has been open for three years. I found out threw two friends of mine that there is two businesses that have asked to lease it but the current owner wont lease. they...

And the repairs may be more than the missed rent during vacancy.

Or would you regret big time by missing a great opportunity to invest in real estate?

If population has grown 12% and there is 25% vacancy, to me some data is missing.
