Check the fine print.

I did a few and someone turned me in :) and sure enough I got a cease and desist and had to pay a fine and spend 20k creating what State of Oregon  calls a Real Estate paper offering !!.  

I don't think we can expect at this price point the flooring to be like the vinyl you walk on in large department stores like walmart (those are commercial products)... but for the price, as long as you realize that there is a give and take, you'll be fine. 

I fixed it and all was fine. 

I did a duplex renovation did fine. very strong urban core market strong appreciation, we see new build activity there, I would stay north of 104. we would build around there and we only do urban core or urban core adjacent in columbus. look at new construction if you can't find inventory you like. plenty of lots all good appreciation in the urban core, strongest rents.

I am aware of additional payments for an FHA such as MIP, but i am completely fine with that.

I think its a fine line.

It could be fine for years or a T could pop tomorrow.

I think I am doing fine.  

I've noticed a trend: the OG's that went through the GFC 2008-2010 meltdown are fine with a low return on equity and cash on cash return, avoiding mortgages and paying with cash, while the Young Bucks are all about maximizing leverage, $0 down strategies, creative financing, "infinite returns", growing the portfolio to the moon as quickly as possible and measuring it by number of doors as the primary metric instead of equity/ actual wealth.
