Hi everyone,Received a recommendation day to look into Golden Rule Real Estate team for property management services. 

It is from 7pm - 9pm @ the Bob's Burgers.

The 1% rule really doesn't apply here in California as we're more of an appreciation-based state.If you're willing to wait to see the returns until you sell, we've probably still got several years of solid appreciation in Sacramento / Stockton areas because of all the Bay Area migration into the Central Valley.

Yet I keep hearing about this 50% rule that half the gross rent will be put towards expenses... is this rule really applicable to Boston?

Burgers or pizza. 

I also when its someone new .. will google street view.. get the person answering the phone to describe what her office location looks like  or I will say hey is that a McDonalds across the street from you when I know its a burger king.. then the other thing I will do is make them recite some information on the hud that a scammer would not have access to.you simply cant be too careful.. millions of dollars a day are being lost in this manner. 

I'm looking for 2-4 unit multifamiles in the Houston area (no greater than 20 miles from central Houston) and getting anywhere near the 2% rule looks like a fairytale.  Just wondering if anyone is actually doing it here?

Also many old tools in walls over the years; usually tape measures (old fashioned kind that fold out like rulers), planers, levels, flat bars, crow bars, nailsets, hammers and such.

It's like the cashier at Burger King getting mad because someone wanted no onions on their burger, which just increased the likelihood the order will be wrong because it's not "standard."   

Always good to see other local investors, there's a monthly meetup in Marysville, WA at the Bob's burgers & brew.
