There are a ton of people buying Google shares or Apple shares instead of utility stocks and nobody is calling them dumb.

Way longer than she thought, and what apple claimed.

This is so you're comparing apples and apples.But, of course, in almost all cases you want to do everything possible to minimize your down payment.

I'm looking at a list of available HUD homes in my city, and I'd like some guidance from experienced HUD investors.Let's assume that I'm looking at a home that requires little if any upgrading (just to compare apples to apples).

Business acquisation and real estate acquisation are apples and oranges---this might be outside the scope for most on this forum.Regards,Scott Miller

And a bad apple who might get taught some of these more creative RE techniques can do harm to the industry.Lots of sociopathic personalities out there,,however at the end of the day buying rehabbers is not a highly complicated business as you state

There is no way you're making an apples to apples comparison here.If you want to invest in SFRs, more power to you.
