What it does indicate is that homes are still selling and that the inventories that were swelled with REO (bank-owned properties) and short sales are being depleted.

If you're unlucky enough to have purchase a home where this was done, if you put a wet roller to the ceiling, it's all coming down.Account Closed if you have water damage, you first need to use an oil based primer like Kilz, or the stain will bleed through.

I would also not advocate an investment that is bleeding cash in a market where cash flow is possible. 

Freon swells burnt.

Remember...you HAVE to sell the fix-and-flip project because it will often bleed cash as a buy-and-hold.

Otherwise I suspect you’ll be bleeding off some of the principal to subsidize the expenses that exceed the earnings.

I am considering trying to rent the property out for 6-8 months if it does not sell within the next month so that I can stop the bleeding during the winter months when the market slows while reducing my basis a little bit.

Hello everyone.I am hoping to soon purchase my first property.It will most likely be a buy and hold.I keep reading about 'knowing your exit strategies' but to be honest, I have no idea how to plan for this.Basically, the only reason I can imagine needing to exit is if it starts bleeding money.

The only thing I have done to it in the last few years was put a new starter in it myself, the motorized trunk latch on the back needed replacing ( I did that as well).The brakes needed replacing and bleeding.
