Geographical Location: Japan (the most honest, reliable and enjoyable business environment on the planet, in my opinion - tenants stay for 4-5 years on average, with 15 and 19 year tenants not uncommon - NEVER intentionally trash or damage a property - honest realtors, sellers and insurance folk, etc etc)3.

I have something to re-sell that I think would do well in an auction environment, but know nothing about how to set one up or what kind of service to use.

I do think if I were able to go back in time, I would like to be raised in this type of environment.

I just don't see that happening in today's political environment, but I do see it as a risk.Other complications with this structure revolve around operating a C-corp.

In all environments you may be able to obtain a discount for cash, but the big discounts seem to only be available in some environments.

So if this company has a trend following model, don't expect much return in the current environment.

Starting out in a NP environment for less experienced investors, going it alone, may take a long time to put consistant dollars in your pocket.

This is going OK, but I'd rather be renting out rooms in a house I own, not rent and sublet.I will read up on the "subject to" investing.Also, I have a fair amount of equity in these houses, but can't access it in the current lending environment.

I can do better than most of them by investing in tax lien certificates (in the current economic environment).

In my case, appreciation was as important as CF.Cheryl, are you having any luck flipping in this environment?
