Do I have to be a J.A. cheap skate underpaying my team and selling second rate craftsmanship to make a profit?

However, they do have private lenders who are mere strangers (deep pockets-high rollers) willing to invest based on one's credibility, other factors and the property deal presented.

Many of us early investors run on a roller coaster credit score.Scores go down as usage goes up,paying them off after the sale makes the score go back up.Definitely something I can live with but something to consider.If your not an LLC make sure your tax pro says your OK .Capital gains can bite you.If you can do it,go for it after the first it gets easier.Good Luck!

The past few weeks and months have definitely been a roller coaster, however we re encouraged to still see bookings coming in spite of the recent news.

This is going to be your guide throughout your roller coaster journey and will keep you looking forward through the good and bad days.

Let's break it down in simple terms.Imagine you're at the amusement park, and you have two options: a roller coaster and a merry-go-round.The roller coaster is thrilling and full of ups and downs, just like the growth path in real estate.It can be exciting, but it also requires patience and the ability to handle unexpected twists and turns.The merry-go-round, on the other hand, offers a smooth and predictable ride, much like the cash flow path.

If he has time on his side, is willing to ride the roller coaster up (hopefully) and wants to do absolutely 0 work, stocks make sense. 

Those in areas with roller coaster rides in appreciation will say #2 as they have seen investors get burned. 

Although I do believe long term one could make a strong investment thesis for the area due to quality of life, population migration trends of millennial's and retirees, municipal capital investments being made such as new parks, ice skating rinks, white water park on the river, investments at Bachelor and OSU Cascades.  

How does it factor in weather (tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards), state income tax (compared to zero in SD, FL, TX, NV, TN, WY), landlord vs tenant tilt, population growth and migration from NE, Midwest and parts of CA to FL,TX,AZ,NV.You want to skate to where the puck is going, not where it was.
