Because I think that is the real gauge of success on this "Flip" though I acknowledge it wasn't a pure flip.

All payments being in pure discretion of trustee.

@Gonzalo GonzalezHi Gonzalo,The market on the West coast is very similar to what I experienced in Australia.IMO its not a sustainable way to purchase real estate and grow a portfolio.I probably had over $200.000 - $300,000 in opportunity cost for buying real estate predominantly focused on the increase in value.Nowadays I will only buy cash and purely numbers based as they stand today.

Pure speculation, never heard of such stuff.

My first pure rental (not a personal property ) was 90k and rents for 1150 in Charleston, SC.

The guru talk of "I made 50K buying this property" is pure malarkey (I could have used other terms).

This is purely my opinion, I haven't done a deal before and don't claim to be an intelligent investor, but this is what I plan on doing in the near future.

This is purely for the visual (added natural light) enhancement of our (owners) living quarters.

@James Wise we don't have two coins to rub together so I wonder, are there hml's that lend purely on equity?

We supplement that with pure rentals on the side.
