It seems that the distressed loan segment of the market has created it's own conversation and narrative about what it means to be in the business.  

You can not use any part of the property for personal gain, and must strictly segment income and capital gains back to the respective owners, but there is no reason you can't do it.Adam

While I do not agree with Dave Ramsey about everything, there is a segment of the population( The ones that cant wait to buy their next flat screen because its only $29 a month) that needs to follow his planI used OPM to do my flips for many years but I will tell you I do sleep a little better at night with no debt

This way the lender can assist with the loan segment, the agent can assist with the property search, and all parties can communicate.That being said, MFHs in the city and its surrounding areas go quickly if the numbers are good, I am a fan of seeking out those properties that have manageable issues that you can remedy.

I did this through 1031, I have to run to the bldg now to meet a vendor, I will con't the next segments with the numbers

JeffNot that you couldn't make good money in that segment, but it's not necessarily an easy one. 

As Ed pointed out, look at the macros in your market and develop plan to attack to the segment you will operate in best. 

I have studied the recommendations segment in it ...

@Matthew Drouin Yes the market is that segmented.

Eventually you'll want took hook up with an agent that knows that market market segment.
