I'm John Alepin from Tampa Florida, passionate about real estate investing for several years.

I am curious if you had to invest any of your own money in the form of equity or to pay for some of the remodeling.

I own property and do interior design for rental and investment properties so I stay up to date from my clients and local events I attend through RE associations and meetups which I recommend.

At the end of the day, losing $10k is really not a lot in the grand scheme of real estate investing, and given the seeming high volatility of this market ($275k to $220k, presumably in a matter of months), and the generally high monthly cost of HML, I would get out quickly and think of the loss as the cost of education.At least in my area (Cincinnati, OH) I don't see the market dramatically improving even as we get into the spring buying season, and, honestly, I only see mortgage rates continuing to climb for the foreseeable future, taking more and more buyers out of the market.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @William Taylor: Hey there BiggerPockets members, I'm an upcoming agent practicing running numbers on different duplexes and investment properties I'm seeing on the market, here to share another report I'm working on for feedback.

If the property doesn’t make sense financially as an annual rental, it’s probably not the right investment.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Flagler Beach.

If you’re serious about bidding, investing in a professional title search is worth it to minimize risk.

I am a single house landlord and manage the property.

@Peter NeillI see you're back with PPR.I'm considering investing in PPR within my Roth IRA?
