@Akash Sky, they are pretty much consistently hitting grand slams of more than that.  

But I'm confused/curious as to why this Electrical Contr is so willing to burn bridges over couple of grand, is he just stupid?

https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1136927-land-...I run a small organic farm in Victor, ID. 30 min from Jackson Hole and close to Grand Targhee ski resort in Idaho.

It's failed in grand fashion every time, for good reasons but hey feel free. 

I also have a realtor looking for short term rentals at Grand Lake, Oklahoma, where I have my vacation home, and I have a realtor friend licensed in Missouri and Arkansas whom I'm going to contact to look in Joplin, Missouri and Bella Vista, Arkansas.

Purchase price: $515,000 My vacation home on Grand Lake What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

  $150,000 is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of Real Estate investing. 

We use to go vacation in Holland, Saugatuck , Grand Haven, South Haven, etc. 

That area does have its share of crime, but with SLU and Grand Center nearby, it's definitely manageable, but not for the faint of heart.

Ok, maybe this is still too technical for many so i will simplify: To get "passive" 17% on wall street means betting on a team of people who juggle chainsaws while unicycling on a tight-rope strung between two trotting elephants, while humming star spangled banner on a kazoo.
