Residential property values have fallen a long way, since 2006.
Residential rental rates have increased a long way, since 2006.

That’s the time when investors can thrive. That’s when positive cash flows are easily achieved.
Gone are the days of investing for appreciation. Invest only for positive cash flow.

Investors: It is time to come out of the closet.
