lol its great to plan very good job, now lets move on from speculation and vision and start learning the different markets on a national then state then local level once youve learned the hottest markets to invest in right now then you can start pulling the trigger on cashflow properties, or you can just invest passively with someone you trust

No sense in speculating. 

I don’t like to speculate, so I think cash flow is the way to go.

You would have to get a mortgage broker or lender to run your numbers and give you an answer, though it would be speculative at best because you have to have a certain value in your property to pull out any equity and you wouldn't know yet the value of the property after you do some work and get in tenants (can't guaranty the rent amount even).

I can only talk specifically about Texas and speculate about CT, but there isn't much of an issue that I'm aware of in getting a policy issued on tax deed properties in Texas. 

However, it would likely be the same after year 3 and blow the Midwest CCR out of the water by year 5 and beyond, and we haven't even talk about the ridiculous and speculative appreciation investing in our neck of the woods. 

Those large movements (10%+) are hard to catch and it's almost speculating.

All speculation of course, but if I'm going to hold the deal for 25 years, there could be a time to acquire the land somewhere along the line.Thanks for all the comments, this is a pretty great discussion on something not often talked about on here. 

Is phoenix becoming a speculators market again?

Ingrid J.I don't know exactly why but I can speculate a bit.
