I rode the market till it crashed on 2008 and when people stopped using their houses as ATM machines, my business dried up quick.

Thanks, its pretty easy to arrive at a breakeven on any given term / rate structure vs the existing 30 year fixed, 3.25%, with 23 years left on the note.   

@Danny Webber@Brandon Miller Yes you both have a point its more steady and i see more flips with more profit In San Antonio Where most of the jobs are more diverse and don't rely so heavy in oil Industry it seems riskier for me or at least those are my thought in the las crash in 2015 I saw so much of the population move out and real estate dropped so much it became a buyers Market with the low prices everyone was moving out due to job loss or lay offs  

In my experience, some of the most complicated issues can arrive during the due diligence period and while you are in escrow.

great location. underpriced market after the 2008 crash How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

We didn't know much about financing and this was before the crash.

Many seem to be waiting for the next crash but real estate does not necessarily cycle with short term ups and downs with the potential for this to go on another decade.

I had just arrived at Langley AFB, VA in January of 2014.

Prices have been increasing since the crash and are finally past what they were and continue to climb.

If people don’t trust your website or it’s unclear what you want them to do, they’ll leave faster than they arrived.
