Don't wait to buy real estate"Don't believe in the hype or speculation about what the feds might do.

All speculation at this point, but near Lee St/29 and a little north of the Sylvan Hills neighborhood, imagine this:  taking MARTA from the airport heading back north in town, you get off of at a hub, where now you can walk over to the Atlanta Beltline terminal and take transport to your stop.

So basically, to know if you are getting less return than the direct to Rise48 people, Spark would need to disclose their arrangement with Rise48 and you would need to look at your own subscription docs with Spark to see if they outline their own fees and carried interest.Although, I can speculate with pretty strong certainty that you are receiving a slightly lower return than direct to Rise48 investors.

Lake Nona is definitely a great location, and I also speculate that we'll see continuing appreciation throughout the coming years.

I know looking for appreciation is generally speculative but since I first offered on this property a month ago (made a second offer Saturday and got it under contract today) property prices in the area this is in have gone up by close to $40,000 across the board.

I disagree.The future and what tomorrow will bring is unpredictable.The numbers of a deal TODAY don't lie and are actual.If net cashflow is higher than expenses and if that net cashflow on each deal get's you a step closer to financial freedom, than the investment is worth it.Appreciation is speculation and is just the cherry on top if/when it happens.Just my opinion.Thanks 

But this isn't it just outright math, this is to a degree speculation risk tolerance, and behavior.
