If you leave batteries there, that helps for that purpose since nothing else uses those batteries anymore.5.

Thought it could be of huge value as I made this purely from needing it myself when I did my first fix and flip project.

Walter says "Someone stole my battery and I cant move" I ask, "Why did you park right here?"

The molestation charge could be a tack on charge during the battery.

At some point, when pure cash flow is more important, then looking at a longer buy and hold strategy may make sense.

@Pradeep Roy are you purely wanting appreciation?

Ben is all about collaboration over pure transactions.

Charleston has a very active REI community and several meetup/networking events each month that are pure gold.

And in general there is a lot of downplaying of risk in the pursuit of pure ROI.None of that is wrong I guess, it's just not my style. 

There are two idea I’m batting around in my head right now to get started on my REI journey – I can do it purely on the investing side and become a private lender or a source of hard money loans to builders/developers (maybe that looks like funding a construction loan collecting interest payments while buying time to better understand the dynamics and build relationships) or I can JV/partner with a builder and get equity (upside on a flip/sale) which would be more hands on.Curious what ya’ll input, what you think is the best route for me to dip my toes into REI given my aforementioned situation and current market.
