Walk into any financial advisors office right now and ask what investment is going to pay a double digit return with less than a $50k investment, that you won't have to manage or put any labor into.

I have an e-book written on the subject and I would be happy to talk to you about the business.

What about a digital camera to pick pictures of the property?

You can't just simply buy a house slap paint on it, new landscaping, floor and expect to sell it for 5 digit profits.We all know that the subprime fallout has caused lenders to force many into foreclosure, these numbers are only expected to grow through the next 1-3 years.So would it be wise to think if you were looking to get into the flip market that these foreclosures would have the potential to be a profitable investment?

I work in 100+ and single digit temperatures.

Mike,You do realize that this is part 2 of a two part response---please see my previous post for my rationalization---it has been quite some time since we have seen double digit inflation (early 80's), but that was the prevailing trend at the time (rents raise with inflation).
