When I look back real estate investing and rehabbing houses is akin to games I enjoyed playing as a child.

I haven't sold yet, I've been analyzing property to get a head start on the 45-day timeline of identifying the potential replacement property (and because I enjoy analyzing property). 

At some point, the juice isn't worth the squeeze for us and we just want to enjoy life. 

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Also, you don't need to clear the 1% rule to break-even.

For the 2-3 months of dry heat, (that most of us spend in the pool or at the lake) we get to enjoy 9-10 months of pure joyous weather without extreme rain, snow, hurricanes, tornados or any other extreme conditions. :)

And then you argue with me saying that I don't know all the details (as in, well, these days even a man can get pregnant.)

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while, and I always enjoy hearing about what brings people to real estate.

You will enjoy the serenity of rural living, complete with a large cleared backyard perfect for homesteading, gardening, or recreation.

I did some research first to see if they are even legitimate and what their reviews are like.
