Duplexes and multifamily are an option as well, although the dynamics are a little different.If I was still living in BR, I'd househack somewhere in Mid City - capital heights, hundred oaks, poets corner, overpass, etc.

"women lie, men lie, numbers DONT lie" as the great poet Lil' Wayne once said lol.

Back in the 1990s, Long-Term Capital Management was a hedge fund founded by PHDs, some of whom were Nobel Laureates.

It would be nice to share ideas.A few more specifics: - I’m interested in single-family or small multi-family dwellings in A or B zones- The closer to the West Coast the better, but that said, I’d be willing to go all the way to Nova Scotia if that’s where the math works best...ideally I’d like to follow the one percent rule - Random detail: I’m actually a poet looking to support my writing habit through sound investing.

I am not a poet =P

Unless I misread this thread (check it out, I'm a poet!)

CJ Ashton thank you for your response and I hope to be the “House” 😊Nathan G. maybe it’s that I didn’t expect that response from someone in Wyoming among the calming trees and mountains, I do miss mountains but would miss wearing shorts and sandals almost year-round.Gail Dudlicek if I was selling I would supply a home warranty but that to me always seemed the only reason for it; and I know what a roof and A/C cost as I just had both replaced on my house and I have replaced the dishwasher, microwave, faucets so not coming in blind thankfully, and thank you for responding.Ben Zimmerman sorry to hear about all your troubles with your first rental, thank you for sharing, it really helps prepare for what I’m getting intoJonathan Watt so you are part poet, nice and thank you.

A Bus Boys and Poets Restaurant is opening next week and a Starbucks is on the way. 

@Jon Rowe and @Poet Mior...welcome to you both and good luck!!
