No one can take that away from you.And the true organic leads are WAY better than the leads companies like those provide.My verdict.

But as I think about a fix and flip, beyond just swagging an ARV minus your purchase price and minus the rehab budget, I know that there is so much more to the equation to understand a true return, especially as it relates to putting your own cash into the deal.Thanks in advance!           

Originally posted by @Mike Lambert:@Alex GarridoInvesting in Panama City would work out for short term rentals because you could pay for the holding costs and maybe profit nicely while hopefully the value of your property increases over the long term.Unfortunately, it’s illegal to rent for less than 45 days and personally I’d never suggest anybody gets into an illegal business overseas.I’ve come across a couple rare buildings in Costa del Este who have a permit but, as you could expect, it’s reflected in the price.That is absolutely true, it is illegal in the City of Panama for less than 45 days.

Unless you can find a true deal, I recommend broadening your scope from just SLC.

I have a "Cabin" just an hour outside of Houston, beautiful property, secluded on 14 wooded acres.

Yes, your standard mortgage rates are dropping, but most of your true commercial lending options are always going to be slow to react so I'm still seeing commercial rates higher than that.Sent over a DM, but would love to talk through some options if you are interested.Good luck!

That is not true and there is upside to your build or conversion, just needs to be well planned and good execution by the investor. 

True foreclosures are all cash purchases so if you don't even want to pay $25 for a list or for access to a good site, you are probably starting a long climb up the wrong tree.

And that is true, they have someone drive by and take a few photos.

There are few markets that had higher appreciation but one year is too short for a true indicator.
