Fortunately we're one of the largest installations in the world and we have two unique features (a shipyard and nuclear subbase - one of only two or three in the U.S.).

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my inquiry.Salient points:Very unique property was purchased by an investor for $110,000 cash in January 2012.

I learn a great deal just browsing through all the books they have on a subject, actually better than just one or two as you start to see themes running through them all, and realize most are just churning out the same knowledge in different ways.

My full time job does give me a unique insight into building failures and I also get to see what contractors screw up, or install incorrectly.

RE is a unique business, it also takes a certain personality to be a landlord/owner and many assume they can or are willing to hold properties but find later it's not for them.

Most hard money is a close variation of this theme, at least from what I've seen and used in Utah, California and Nevada.

I'm always interested in a unique approach to marketing.

Yes this is nothing new to the big boys & girls out there, but new to me as I have only purchase new completed places.This is the current bus. model that worked on my building1-build/buy new & hold(unique duplex like SFR - thus hi quality tenants)2-cash flow-not great but good3-exit by selling as condos (30% higher value than the whole duplex structure)These are the rough number on one current duplex:-150K 0.4 acres land purchase for ONE duplex (an average - extremely hard to find)-300K Build and contractors fee-20K City utilities (can save here w/ tear down-Utililitie in place & easy to permit)-Appraised at 470KWith these numbers there is no deal/money to be made upfront unless the appraisal rises or the land price drops.

Both strategies have big challenges and their own unique headaches so it's easy to get sick of your current problems and quickly decide to change course.
