Quote from @Sino U.: Hi.

In addition, my account has u synced from Bigger Pockets several times causing RentRedi to charge extra fees that were originally explained as cost free.  

Currently the lot is too small within the current U-TU-B zoning.

It seems like I need to check further away from the DMV area.My feelings are if you want “cash flow” you should buy a bond (I really like the tips rate right now) there is next to no reason to buy real estate for cash flow, if you are going to buy you should buy with appreciation in mind, which is not to say that’s the route I’d go, I’ve been liquidating properties to put in stocks and money market funds over the last few years and u just did the math and I’ve come out well ahead, but just to say there are arguments for stocks/bonds, there are arguments for levered appreciation, but the cap rates pretty much anywhere aren’t worth it vs an inflation protected bond, especially since a 3/rd of inflation is real estate anywhere, you could get “cash flow” and inflation protection much easier through a tips.

I would stay long enough for the 2 years so you quaify nothing is going to happen in the next year or so.. that tax free money is the best thing we have going in the US in my mind. then U could buy some very safe first trust deeds and make 4 to 6K a month NET NET NET without any of the TTTs..

Quote from @Tanner Pile: Quote from @Rob U.: I’m considering a flip on a land lease.

kept using people who don't do real estate to do my taxes, and also they had horrible communication skills, I don't trust people who only see u as money.

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

U need to talk to a local that does septic systems  just like a good well driller they will know the areas generally that are a problem..

Or the 6k houses that burn down in Napa and Sonoma counties  U just dont hear about it because it was not LA and the rich and famous.. the Napa fires are the exact same scenerio Atlas peak is solid brush and its burn 3 times in my lifetime but this time there was homes built right next to it and again freak winds downslope winds  that caused this..
