It's so hard to find a house to flip when the market is so hot. People are paying so much for the homes that need rehab becuase even use buyers are biding on those. I found an off market deal that takes a true rehab s...

The BP forums are a gold mine. 

Gallon of milk is up 20%, gas is up 20%, wages are in theory (lol) up 20%, gold/silver up 20%, bitcoin went up 1000% then dropped 980% 2 milliseconds later (good luck at that casino, and props if you win, someone has to), so it's up 20%, rent is up 20%, stocks on average are up 20%, you get the idea. 

It doesn't get any better than that.I tell myself this all the time, and then I look at how much money we've managed to salt away in the last ten years legally doing it, and not working particularly hard at it, and just following a few simple rules like treating tenants in a buy-and-hold operation with simple dignities, keeping up our end of our contracts, differentiating our product...Jeff, show me anything else that's legal and pays off like a by-the-book mom and pop C-class buy-and-hold operation in a Rust Belt town like the 'Burgh, and I'll show you a gold mine in the ghetto. 

It feels like the gold rush, everyone marking their listings up 20 to 30% hoping some out of stater comes and buys them to grow pot, cash in hand.

Any property manager worth partnering with will be a member- I'd call some PMs in the cities you are looking at and ask if they are NARPM members, if so, ask if they'll share the latest vacancy and rent datasheets, they're gold for deal analysis. 

There is so much cheap money floating around now that I suspect the game is no longer just about cash flow but about sheltering good debt.Any available real estate is likely one of the best shelters of cheap money.Since cash will almost never be this cheap again,it's common sense that hiding as much of this as possible today even in a marginal deal is a no brainer since the same cash may cost triple the interest rate within the next decade.It beats burying it in the front yard.And neither Gold nor crypto cash flows.Happy plunging inventory !

There are still quite a few little pockets of downtown that I know will be gold 10 to 15 years down the line.

I can tell you Steve this simple conversation we are having is GOLD  for those in this business who may not realize fully how credit works. 

It’s kind of like the guys that got rich selling shovels to the gold miners.Now for my advice.
