@Jacob Wright You said "The home sold for $175k in 2005 and is selling for the same amount now due to the owner moving out of state".The moral of this story is: NEVER take it for granted that the stated reasons for selling are giving you the whole story!

The moral: if the investment can't justify being bought with borrowed money (so that you still have more cash to leverage even more investments), is it such a good investment anyway?
