Its comical how few people understand how luck in a particular economic cycle plays into their successes. 

This is where my mistake comes into play.

Hi John,I like playing with raw land, too, in Snohomish county, WA, just north of Seattle. 

With a 3-5% down FHA loan, I snagged a cozy home in a hot spot, worked from home to play handyman, and created a hedge against the "what-ifs" of life.

The key is to standardize property quality and management systems, which would appeal to buyers seeking scale.If you’re thinking long-term, holding these properties for cash flow while leveraging local appreciation is also a strong play.

Oregon saw it that way as well.. many folks got cease and desist using guru on line training techniques this just formalizes the activity and levels the playing field and gives both buyers and sellers a mechanism to get out of deals and or have a regulator step in..

You have to tell people if a toy is broken, missing pieces, or might explode when played with.

If you’re newer to real estate, role-play scenarios with a mentor or colleague.

At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?

As an investor in a market where cash flow does not come often and appreciation is a bigger play, I understand your mindset.
