Eventually it might not exist if we don't reinvest in our local future.It just seems to me that it’s more rewarding to build a business as a local in a town, where the locals all know each other, and together we can revitalize the physical spaces but also build deeper bonds between neighbors and be proud of the community we live in and participate in making it thrive.

You can still build two separate homes on the same lot, offering investment flexibility.The streamlined approval process is a huge advantage, cutting out the red tape of lengthy public hearings.

We also should be prepared for temporary bond market volatility in the short term, as the GSEs reenter the market.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsI wonder as a broker if they needed to have a surety bond and could collect against the bond. most likely but its a small amount.. 

After waiting out a lengthy eviction and doing nothing more than a clean-out, we listed it with a realtor—and walked away with just shy of $200K in profits!

I am looking into a company right now that does rent guarantee insurance and also does in lieu of deposit will issue a bond that the tenant basically gets charged a monthly fee for.

You could also mitigate risk with a surety bond as well.

I do 30% traditional (roughly split 50/50 stocks and bonds), 30% owned real estate and 30% non traditional (loans, syndications, PPM funds etc).

The eviction process can be lengthy, costly, and may result in getting the property back in poor condition.To avoid this, you might consider offering a "cash for keys" arrangement.

Too often, they lock clients in lengthy contracts and blame the clients when they don't get results, which is unethical because they're usually taking advantage of the clients' ignorance.
