I hope your experience with the site has been a pleasant one.

You can delegate a lot in time (after you have enough properties to cover the overhead) but the key is managing your delegation.

You'll take a hit, but in time, it will fade.

While I agree that under certain circumstances this may be true, paying cash for a property can have major advantages in time sensative deals.

I just couldn't get there in time.

Be very leery of paying up front fees for something that may be very difficult to get at this point in time.

When you factor in time - and that your mortgage payment remains static whereas rents increase - the balance swings even further towards ownership.So my question is: why do tenants pay such high yields rather than buy the property themselves?

Also, if you're worried about not being able to find a buyer in time, you can play it safer and use a flex option instead of putting the property under contract.

You need to stipulate what the buyer is entitled to if you CANNOT FIND A BUYER in time.
