Thanks, all of that makes sense. I've done plenty of research on stocks and other investment vehicles so i guess theres not as much overlap as expected. It's becoming apparent that RE is an entirely different animal in almost every way.

I've just started shopping around and running the numbers on multi family properties for sale around me. When I calculate cash flows the numbers I get are all over the place for very similar properties in the same area. Since its investors who buy most of these, shouldn't the market be pretty efficient? Seems like the prices should almost alway be in line with the returns and risk you could expect. Same goes for properties in other areas too. It's not that hard to invest remotely so I don't understand why everything doesn't balance out. Like, if you can get great returns in one Ohio or wherever, shouldn't demand go up and raise prices to match everywhere else? Same question on a small scale with individual properties being priced inconsistently.
