Thanks. As our bay area buddy Minh (who has over a 1:1 ratio) likes to say: give freely without expectation of reward, and yee shall be rewarded.   You have obviously done that.

In addition to Brandon and Minh, I think Brian Burke has us beat as well. Quality info shared by all those guys!

    @Aman S. I think many people want to ignore the aspects of real estate investing that worked so well for 100 years because of what happened a decade ago. Im a big believer of buying in major metro areas that are growing, as I think that is how you can really build wealth. Now that doesnt mean I think every property will go up in value, nor would I buy something that was cash flow negative...but we should not ignore the simple economic forces of inflation, and supply and demand.  If demand is high prices will rise. If we have inflation, prices will rise, especially over a long enough time line.  

    We also have to be aware of what could push prices down.  Recessions happen, and prices can go down.  New home construction can add too much supply and put downward pressure on prices.  A non-diversified economy could put the housing market at the mercy of one industry.

    @Aman S.   Cash flow and appreciation potential can still be found in Dallas.  I also know a few people in South Dallas that are getting $300,000 on lots they paid $2000 for two years ago.  Good investments are still available.

    @Russell Brazil   Thanks for all 5000 posts.  I often find you a voice of reason.

    @Account Closed I understand some of the C or D areas may have cash flow opportunities but tough to find much cash flow in B areas within nicer neighborhoods, schools etc., especially in the northern suburbs.
