Quote from @Mark Cruse: It’s a very good program and can be lucrative if the person has the abilities and skill sets to make it work.

Agree 100% of marked parking :)

Mark my words.3. 

The 25k goes down 5k every year so at the 5 year mark it's gone already. 

I've interviewed Mark Kohler, Brandon Hall, And Tom Wheelwright.

You have to kind of buy as the momentum is driving it that way but not at the peak of it, weather the mark to market volatility that comes with it, manage the physical risk that comes with, and reap the blow out rewards that eventually will come if you bought in the right areas.If debt is cheap it makes sense spread the risk around cause your floor is a lot lower, if debt is expensive it makes more sense to own it and and actually qualify your risk in areas that demand is still high, and supply is getting constrained and force more pressure on it. 

Some options are paying in cash and pulling the cash out once the property can have an appraisal that will be marked "as is" (so no work needs to be done to the property to make it habitable).

I just don't know if its worth the risk of waiting for the 2 year mark.
