Just bought 3 houses last week from a builder. 

That was an excellent non-answer to my question, Skyler. hihi :)No they are not all the same. some are only interested in dealing with conventional purchases other are as you say better at handling assignments or double closes, some are commercial specialty, etc....A investor friendly one would be, at least from my point of view, one that understands there may need to be some last minute wheeling, dealing, and adjustment made to close a deal, understand what needs to be done and do not freak out about creative deals.Maybe my understanding or thoughts are wrong but that's what I meant by investor friendlyregards :) 

I looked at Sapphire pretty hard last year, and made a couple of offers there, but in the end decided it wasn't the market for me.

Quote from @Kelly Giarrocco: I bought a vacant property on Sherriff sale last year on the ********** site.1.

I've started, grown & sold 4 companies over the last 15 years (two PE exits).

Started listening to BP last week.

This allows participating in the $1.1 M equity with a ROI of 100% and on going 25% annually with the historical appreciation over 30 years of 8% a year. ( Zillow stated a 10.4 % in the last 30 days $251,361 ).

Similarly, the sale ($575K) minus your adjusted basis determines your capital gain.You may qualify for the primary residence exclusion (up to $250K single/$500K married) if you lived there 2 of the last 5 years.

Last year 4.75%. 

Hello BP Community, it's been awhile since I've last posted or have had downtime lately.
