I think your analysis is spot on.  The way you analyze deals is pretty much exactly how I do mine.  Unfortunately with any deal analysis you have to make assumptions.  I have seen many TI'ers will either underestimate or completely leave out vacancies, maintenance costs and cap ex costs.  As you...

If you can sell for a profit, then do it this year.  Perhaps the question is not what should you buy next, but moreso when should you buy.  Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing anything.

Rates havent moved much.  Even if it did recently, why would you expect prices to change so suddenly?

I cant stress this again, Irvine rentals will yield negative returns with current purchase prices.  Based on what Ive read about Ardmore, here are the numbers. purchase prices 650K rent 3100/month 25% down at 4.7% (investment rates will be much higher, hence 4.7%) closing costs ~ around 12K...

I found this conversation very interesting but honestly, are you not guilty of the very same thing?  Perhaps this is even worse as you are making generalized attacks on many people...

The constant smell from the trash trucks driving back and forth on sand canyon is worse in my opinion.  In addition there is a lot of dust generated from these trucks.  I am not sure if its from the trash or from the trucks driving on dirt in the landfill.

Just to add onto this, the academy of pediatrics recently released a statement about children and cell phones.  In the past we thought EMF from cell phones was perfectly fine, but now we are beginning to see some potential dangers...

just to echo others that posted already.  Power lines is a definite deal breaker.  There is significant evidence that suggest EMF from these can have long term health effects.  Depending on the strength of these power lines, the distance should be adjusted.  In general you should be about 300...

Redfin estimates are so lame.  I think redfin literally takes the listing price and makes a small modification to it and puts it out there as their estimated price. You can tell from the extreme pricing of this house.  A better example was the house I posted a while back with a clear error in...

Love that flooring.  Anyone know exactly what that is?

id probably just rent also considering all that i read...

isnt it too asian already?

Looking for someone to retile my floors.  I got quotes for 5-6 dollars a sq foot.  I dont know their quality of work so I thought Id ask the community here.  need to retile about 3000 sq ft.  I would also appreciate if anyone has advice where to get best deals on tile.  Im looking for...

im done also

Do you have to resort to lying and putting words into my mouth to make an argument?  Classic strawman argument.  One simply needs to go back to my most recent post prior to this and see what was said.  Either you have a reading comprehension problem or you are lying.  Either way its bad. The...

So you want me to follow my own advice?  Am I not doing that right now by NOT buying long term buy and holds in SF???  Why dont you put your money where your mouth is?  Please go pick up as many long term buy and holds in SF RIGHT NOW!  LOL As I said, buying 5 years ago was not a bad...

This conversation has morphed into something completely different from original conversation.  My only point in responding in this thread was to dispute laguna's claim that one cannot go wrong with a long term buy and hold in an expensive city like SF.  It was bad advice on many levels.  I...

Again false.  Many investment homes can be purchased with positive cash flow from day 1.  In fact im working on one right now in the inland empire that has a cash on cash of 13.5% with 25% down with 20% factored in for both Cap Ex and maintenance costs.  Your advice about SF properties however...

The consistent increase in effort to curb money from leaving China appears to be having an effect...
