My philosophy is to scoop up as many rentals as I can in a down market, especially when it costs me $0 out of pocket.

That said, I have a personal philosophy of never buying a property that I couldn't turn around and sell at the purchase price, which usually protects me from trying to stretch to a crazy amortization period.Hope that helps.

I could question there investments but many of them area seasoned investors.Im just curious on your involvement, philosophy, and systems used when turning properties.Thank you,George

I lived in Misawa for 3 years and loved it :)Where you invest will depend on your own philosophy.

I wonder how those two work together =)  I appreciate and learn from both philosophies as well!!  

There is No doubt, when looking at the situation from a natural philosophy perspective, cycles are part of nature.  

My philosophy is building wealth over time, not getting rich quick.  

I'm not preaching any, "Let's all go live in bomb shelters and stock up on canned goods" philosophy but if you know anything about the historical context of the supposed rights that you think that you have, you would be much more aware that a right is a only a right until the government decides that it is no longer a right.   

I’m looking for RE investors in my region, specially those who share the same philosophies as those found here in the biggerpockets website.

For these reasons I feel a buy and hold philosophy with SFH's and maybe very small multi units is probably my best avenue.
