The main lesson I learned was that if you have some experience you can pick the right property, in the right location, fill it with the right tenant and it can actually work out!

For the past many months, I don't know anyone with more than, say, $5,000 in idle cash who isn't using Treasury Direct to get 5%+ on idle money; pick your term - short (4 weeks) or longer (52 weeks). 

I picked a random date of 3/22/2010, and on that day, there were 21 courthouse foreclosures filed.I would expect the number of Short Sale (TAM) opportunities, today, to be practically zero.

Financial Goals: If keeping the farm in the family holds significant emotional value, this can justify the purchase despite the initial lack of cash flow.Investment Strategy:If immediate cash flow and rapid portfolio growth are your primary goals, BRRRR properties may be the better option.If you can leverage the farm’s equity effectively, it could still serve your investment goals while preserving the family legacy.Ultimately, the decision hinges on balancing emotional value and financial strategy.

I also called a house that's in my neighborhood with a for sale sign, didn't pick up the first time around noon, and I shoot her a text, didn't response.

Next best thing would be to partner up with a flipper and help get them deals.Best thing is to just pick one and go for it all in otherwise you get analysis paralysis.

Hello, I've been watching the multi tenant industrial market for a few years now, picked up a few. 

You're not picking stocks...this is far more hands on and nuanced than looking up stats on the internet.

For the price of courses, I pick up ones that appeal to me because I think that if I can add one thing from them it pays for itself. 

but again, recent changes in the market have made cash flow much tougher just about everywhere.i don't invest in Florida myself but I'd pick a couple markets, go to each one in person, and look at as many places as you can.
