The life blood of what your considering doing is finding the deal.

Spend that time doing something that lowers your blood pressure instead. 

You can buy spray guards and just cut in with a brush once you get good, cuts down on masking, but that skill takes a WHILE to develop.I clean my tips in paint thinner regardless of what I spray, after I flush the system with water.

That’s way too much blood sweat and tears...I just do brrrr, pay cash or a short term high interet loan, pay others to do the rehab, rent and refi.

Its beautiful but it was a beast to install because the planks were thinner and brittle.

I'll buy when I see blood in the water and the numbers are good; I would be shocked if things dropped down to anything near 2008 numbers the next handful of years but a correction is certain in many markets, IMO. 

If you're someone who believes that they can time the bottom or at least get close and believes they're able to see "blood in the streets" i have one thing to say to you.

Keep in mind the following:“The time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” – Baron Rothschild“I will tell you how to become rich.

Rent may not scale as quickly as home values, but the appreciation value increase would then far outweigh the thinner margin for cash flow.
