I have not purchased any rental properties since September of 2015. I had 16 rentals at one point, but recently sold my fifth rental property. I sold the house because it was tough to rent and had a wierd floor plan. The house was bought for $88,000 in 2012 and I sold it for $199,500 in June of 2016. The home was rented for $1,250 to the same tenants the entire time I had it. I could have maybe raised rents to $1,400 with new tenants. 

The reason I sold this property is the rent to value ratio is so low. The home is worth $200,000 and it only rents for $1,400. This is in  large part due to rising house prices in Colorado. I am not buying rentals in Colorado for the time being because it is so hard to cash flow. I am looking to buy in Florida, but have not pulled the trigger yet. My flipping business has been my focus this summer as I have 11 flips going.
