I've been mulling over a number of high level things, and think that economic reality in 2022 is very different than people (media, left, right, etc.) perceive it.

Even if this was not the case and the wages actually had a tight correlation to the RE prices, the value add would be associated with the property value and would be equivalent in terms of the labor costs (not reality but even if true because of the fixed material costs the return on rehab budget would be greatest in higher priced markets).This poses the question why are you looking OOS? 

While this is an easy use case for it, reality is it will happen most likely not happen In our lifetime due to politics.

The reality is, in ANY major metropolitan city in the country, you can find good and bad areas, and Detroit is no different.

If you’re planning on buying a home in the near future, you want to start taking steps today to make that dream a reality.

A great opportunity to move from theory to reality and determine my strengths/weaknesses and preferences -- I don't like tenant property management but love project management.

I would sell about half of united healthcare that in reality didn't do bad, so I wouldn't be losing there and losing stocks the other half for tax purposes. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Please give me your blunt takes, I need to learn and do not mind hearing reality checks. 

So, in reality, size of down payment and leverage can impact CF, it DOES NOT determine it.
