We still see 1% positive cash flowing deals with appreciation potential. 

Quote from @Luis Pereiro: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: what position that's an important factor.. bare land notes generally sell for a 20 to 30% yield. 

For example, if you are in a secured position and invest $25k and can get 10% per year at $2500 or you can get 15% unsecured which is $3750, are people willing to risk the extra $1,250 a year where you could lose all of your $25,000 investment compared to being secured where chance of losing it all I would view as astronomically lower?

@Laura Casneri am in a similar position, i am making an offer every couple of months or so, and either getting outbid or the seller doesn't want to sell. 

@Deal H. that is great to hear you are in a position to make your first investment into real estate. 

I wont do the magnetic signs , because I have a newer Ford F 250 and its an aluminum body and magnets dont work .

Hi Burton,It sounds like you're in a great position with a strong portfolio.

I would love to see the numbers, normally they can be tweaked in a more positive way. 

Maybe not with positive cash flow, but overall is very doable.

I spend a lot of time listening to audiobooks, and a lot of those books are actually more geared towards the mind and being positive (you mentioned mans search for meaning, I just finished that).
