I would think that if you're trying to reach your highest returns in an effort to allow your wife to do this full time creating SFRs is not your best option.

Return Receipt Requested.

I rarely have regrets about selling, but I blew it on that one.I've sold dozens of rental properties in Bakersfield that are making good returns for their owners.

I see no reason to return the app fee as you did spend time to.

Obviously cash on cash return is decently easy to calculate but I find the equity return to be harder to calculate.

That makes a significant difference in your return on investment.

Not looking for war zone nightmares but the returns look too good to be true.

Having said that, long-duration (6-12 month) put options, that are out of the money (the market would have to decline at least 5% for them to start generating positive $ returns) are not that expensive.

"live where you want - invest where it makes sense"SoCal "Southern california" is a very expensive and competitive market to get into, but the returns are great (if you know what you're doing).Have you considered living in SoCal and investing in Portland?

But the returns on those aren't usually as high either, so may not be worth it.
