Oh, and make sure you have Workers Comp on the guys you hire to help unload.Ahahaha, after they got done realizing what was going on I never heard another peep.....Got my first license in '83, all these years I never realized I was a hostage-taking price-gouger......Damn.

It was during our first deal that I realized a term sheet is not set in stone.

I realize they are selling properties and not guaranteeing income but I was more or less sold the promise of leased properties.Yes, we all know they sell at a profit and I have no way of knowing their profit and loss figures.

I used to own three rentals in Seattle but after 2012 when the prices got too high I realized that sophisticated buy-and-hold investors invest where the numbers make sense with cash flow, not appreciation (gambling).

Nothing can beat other people's real-life knowledge.The longer you invest in real estate, the more you realize you must be decisive.

I have a deal all signed to buy a home sub2 in Pueblo Colorado, but I realized the mortgage is a FHA loan.

Buy now and breakeven, and realize more appreciation overall then if you wait until everything goes up again. 

I'll tell ya, I love running the numbers...Oh, I just realized something!

And I realize the importance of focusing on ONE STRATEGY and using the path of least resistance.

In general, RE realized the largest appreciation rate post pandemic due to easy money spurring investor demand, and depending on the market, the mass wave of demand entering into the STR market.
