Higher DemandThe rental market is shifting.

Seems that the website Fourpeakspartners.com is not working any longer.

Congratulations @David Shaun - those are awesome numbers, and should hold up with the low liabilities, regardless of market. 

The stock market is up something like 80% of the days long term.

The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

The benefit to buying cash and refinancing later is that you can close on a property quickly, which works in your favor in competitive markets.

Years ago I bought houses for $25k in my market.

Spent a minute on their website and this in particular stood out to me as a red flag.

If you like where you live, I would explore investing in a cheaper out-of-state market. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.
