Picking a stock actually requires you to analyze an enormous amount of data and vastly increases your knowledge of the global economy.

As far as flipping strategies buy right and then also price correctly when you sell.As a real estate broker new product doesn't come on the market every 30 days it comes on the market every week and sometimes daily.Knowing that what buyers want is the best product at the most reasonable price.They don't want a crap hole to live in just because it is cheap.So when rehabbing if your budget is stretched pick 2 or 3 things that will pop and catch the buyers eye that say QUALITY.Also in this market a price drop every 30 days won't cut it.As a broker we know from statistical data that 85 percent of activity occurs in the first 10-14 days on the market.If recent sold prices range from 40k to 50k I want to be in the bottom 50% of list price 40k to 44k with a great product.If I have given it maximum exposure and nothing comes in drop the price every 7 days until it sells.You want to always stay ahead of the pricing curve and chasing the market down.It is the number one mistake made by all sellers.

Sorry, that was uncalled for :wink: You don't have enough data to disprove any method or any amount of risk.

Plenty of buffer in that home as well if you need it.

When you have rentals in good school districts I suspect that historical data will show that you also solve how to pick areas that will appreciate.

Here's an interesting commentary by the NY Times on the Auto bailout - definitely worth a read:If Detroit Falls, Foreign Makers Could Be Buffer

Nevertheless, its a data point that the area has seen a dramatic decrease.You say you ran comps and came up with $131K to $171.5K.
