@Meghan MacurJust a suggestion when I started investing this was taught to me When trying to arrive at an offer price for multi familysAdjust your offer price to a point that the monthly cash flow meets your requirements and your Cash on Cash Return on Investment should produces returns that are equal tooOr better than if it were invested in the Stock market I want cash on cash returns better than 10% Per year with a minimum of $100 + per doorOr pass on the deal

The recent predictions from analysts of a dark year for housing based on tight inventory combined with rapid home price appreciation and slow wage growth may be a little off base, according toFreddie Mac’s March 2016 Monthly Outlook released Thursday.Freddie Mac is predicting that housing fundamentals such as home sales, housing starts, and prices will all reach levels not seen since 2006, right in the middle of the housing bubble and two years before the crash.

However, my self taught crash course has led to some very fulfilling opportunities for me.

It's highly doubtful, and hasn't happened once in the township history, but it's possible.If I get a job that uses my MET degree, it will almost definitely be at least a 45-60 minute drive on a crowded highway with weekly crashes to get to where the jobs are.

I did not have the opportunity to enjoy the management part of it when the crash of 2008 came, tenants began to loose their jobs were not paying the rent caused my loan to default and went into foreclosure along with my other real estate investments.

I did arrive late to socialize,so hopefully next time I go I can arrive earlier to meet the investors with big pockets!

People are worried about losing their homes, and going bankrupt.There is no magic phrase you can say to someone to make them want to invest in real estate.Especially after the crash that happened. 

(if that's what you're after) You could ride the wave a little higher, but when it crashes down, you will be upside down.

Just like in an exam, the goal is to arrive at the right answer.  

There used to be first time home buyer programs before the crash.
