These mistakes are inevitable and it's part of our growth as investors.

This means that you're equity growth is 10.8% ROI. 

I am assuming these companies conducted serious due diligence on future area growth prospects prior to moving forward.ExpensesProperty taxes (Annually): $13000Obviously not ideal.

The stock market has a long history of growth and until you have some personal experience in real estate investing you should be cautious with your retirement accounts.I would suggest rolling the 401(k) funds into an IRA and doing annual Roth conversions each year to fill up the lower tax brackets. 5 years after you convert a portion of your IRA to a Roth it is counted as the “basis” and can be taken out of the account without any taxes or penalties.

Local neighborhood committees and groups are also in support of me developing and bringing in more growth to our lovely neighborhood here in Hartford.

Because there is high demand for these areas by homeowners it compresses the cap rate and then you can hope for appreciation but there are a lot of people who have been sitting around Baltimore waiting for appreciation while nearby markets like Philly and DC have experienced tremendous growth since 09. 

My goals in REI at the beginning of the year were to build my company Maple House LLC into a business that fully supports my living expenses as well as allows for growth.

My area is seeing a lot of growth from out of state and thought it would be great to have a nice welcome letter as well as a handbook for specific type of questions (how to use the fireplace, How to use and program the auto lights, How to program the automatic schlage lock, favorite local restaurants, etc) When we bought a home several years ago the sellers left us a note as well as a bottle of wine and to this day we still talk about that for a first impression.

But right now its all about speed of growth and speed of accusation so that we can generate as much income as quickly as possible. 

Being a former resident in the city, would you invest more during this time ('21, '22) in anticipation of growth back to the city, with rents back near where they once were?
