Quote from @Vince Scipione: Yes, they are a popular choice where I live and work, however with the ever fluctuating cost of oil heat, many people have swapped over their boilers/furnaces to what is called a "Propane Gun" essentially it is a device that is affixed to the front of the furnace/boiler that injects the propane and ignites it.

@Zachary JensenThe originalPost “ why wouldn’t an accredited investor invest with no risk….”Why is it that people think there is no risk in real estate.

Pointing out the BS that people try to peddle. 

Our office receives about 50 of these a month from various wholesalers and I always look at ones I don't recognize to see what people are trying.

But then again I’m not too good at people management.  

Im generally distrustful of most people/funds in the real estate world.

I see people purchasing new STR's here and others dumping their properties or converting into LTR's. 

Also looking for feedback from people that don't work for BiggerPockets or are biased :)

Well, this my opinion, if you like unpredictability, constant change and people/contractors with no regards to you or your property then "YES" flips and STRs are the way to go...LOL....I love it!!! 

I'm reaching deep into my psychic thoughts… I see it… A majority of people who respond to this post will be real estate brokers… I can see it!
