But here are some really interesting numbers...Ok so this one doesn't look too bad but notice how much more the townhouses and condos dropped in prices over the last downturn.2007 peak to now isn't so good...Before the 2007 run up to now is better, but even then, apartment condos performed the worse (so best case scenario, you have the worse performing asset type, worse case scenario you had a terrible return), and that's assuming you had nothing go wrong with the condo (special assessment etc)But benchmarks don't even tell the whole story, because if you had a specific condo investment, and you tracked it's value overtime, benchmark prices isn't the right approach as it evolves overtime (benchmark price is the price of a typical property generated at each point in time).

That part of the story isn't here.They really shouldn't be changing the ledger entries at all.

Hey everyone here's my story which almost sounds like it comes from a movie: we bought a house close to Atlanta airport through a wholesale company for $139,250 in August 2023 and we used a fix & flip loan to fix it up, refinance, and rent out.

If you look through some of the posts on BP, you'll read many stories, specifically of investors from California and NYC buying cheap properties, frequently in the Midwest and South who have lost money.

You can see their success stories here. https://10hourdeals.com/proof-2Before responding, I took the time to review your case to ensure we didn’t miss anything, and here’s what I found:1) You engaged in just 8% of the course training according to our CRM data, and your participation level directly impacts the results. 2) Most importantly, you were completely refunded on January 19, 2024.It's disheartening to hear that you weren't able to achieve the success you were aiming for.
