Jim invested in a small apartment complex, and within two years, not only did the property's value appreciate significantly, but the rental income also provided a steady cash flow.Real estate offers a level of control and tangible value that can be really rewarding.

That's why the infill lot strategy we work with in Columbus and tampa florida do a lot better because it's in and out and the entitlement process is not very long or complex for small infill lots. 

How do you typically evaluate or assess the level of risk when dealing with more complex scenarios, like foreclosures or borrowers with bad credit?

Be sure to have plenty of room for parking, as this can kill the functionality of the overall complex if you don't.
