We were looking at the direction of change over a twenty year period.

Twenty five percent down is a lot better than 100% down.

Since probate deals have been my game for twenty+ years, I'm accustom to hearing this question.

Cash back cannot be generated from thin air, despite what George Bush and Congress think.There are 3 simple things you could have done (and future newbies should always do) to have prevented this:Due DiligenceDue Diligence Due DiligenceThe only upside of this; (like the upside of the RE and S&L crash of the '80s) is that a lot of us, will make a lot of profit snapping up these deals for twenty five cents on the dollar in the future.

And we're not talking about people that make twenty or thirty thousand dollars per deal, we're talking about people that may not be able to pay the rent this month because they trusted that they had a buyer.I asked you do the agents that run around for you know that you are working with other agents for a reason.

And when the housing market turns around, the value of my properties will improve dramatically, so I want to buy while the market is bad.There are exceptions to every rule, of course, and we haven't bottomed, but in twenty years I think that buy-and-holders who took advantage of this environment will be glad they did....

Twenty plus years of retirement requires a lot of capital.In your case I would imagine that you will always be looking for deals and will continue to generate income.

Hi...The 4 plex is not in California..Well I came to a conclusion in my own quirky non professional way...it will probably seem silly but here it is: It seems that if I put $80,000 down and then spent another 200,000 over the course of 20 years for all the stuff that comes up...( the building is brand new with all the warranties on the roof etc etc ) there is a good chance I will end up with a building worth around maybe $650,000 ...that means ( in a very very innacurate way) my money was more than doubled and it took TWENTY YEARS.....thats not very good and I had all those headaches too.meanwhile in 20 years just $130,000 in a simple Vanguard index fund getting 11% a year and being left alone to compound becomes around a million dollars.This seems to clarify it for me.....
