Thank me by staying active here on BP and someday doing a deal with me! :D

But I'm not going to go negative on a property when I know I can make gobs of cash flow in Houston -- in areas that I know have had strong appreciations ("A" locations near downtown, med center, etc).   

(renting by the room to three different parties, probably all med students or equivalent) 2.)

Dora Rhody in garden bed of window with shutters (Dora or similar Rhody - they are sm/med. sized and don't grow too large); b.

If you can buy one big enough to rent additional office space to other med/dentist or some other kind of small office tenants that would be good too.   

What if a pre-med student just took action?

Figured that that area is close to the med center and close to a major freeway interchange allowing for a quick commute in almost any direction.  

Yes, but also for a different reason....flip income is subject to fed taxes Plus self employment (ss/med) of 15.3%.

Profits from building a spec home are ordinary income, plus med/SS, period. 

Big, med, small?
