Thanks for the reminder.

just to be clear about my opinion, I am talking about long term investing, not day trading. i think day trading is a losing game, except for the 1% who "know more than the market." if you want to discuss which is a better investment, i think it is clear that real estate is (if it is your thing). however, real estate requires your time which my preffered method of stock market investing takes very little time. dollar cost averaging is truely passive investing. if you want to talk truely passive real estate investing where you spend an hour a month looking over statements and you are not hands on in any way, i dont think you will do much better if any than the stock market......over the long term. what the recent stock market crash has reminded people is that it is a volatile market and some people are not comfortable with that. i think real estate is not as volatile.to the question of whether or not people will jump from stocks to real estate. because of how the stock market has acted lateley, i think yes. big hedge funds have proven that. i am just saying...give it 10 years and possibly a few good runs by the stock market and people will be "following the herd."

Least - I grow tired of tenants sometimes :) And, the weight of it all sometimes seems ominous, but I just remind myself that everything cashflows.Full time real estate is fun - but only if you LOVE real estate.

Jenkins - absolutely and thank you for the reminder.

You've heard it before, but let me remind you-- if you buy a house that has had a conversion- make SURE it's a legal conversion with permits on record.

Reminds me of another bread I was posting in where the OG poster decided to walk from a transaction in which he could have monetized it in another way.

No matter how many times I send a text reminder to change the air filter it doesnt seem to work.

I wasn't going to buy the LG, but the salesman reminded me that it's a flip, so I should save the $.

This post is a great reminder of the essential steps for wholesaling.

Which reminds me, our gardener didn't show up Saturday, I need to call him.
