who ever had money in 2007 made a ton of cashNow is the time to flip in atx When the market changes , we adapt .

Basically, planning out  and overseeing new construction, renovations, etc.I think there's also an opportunity on the investor/developer side with adaptive reuse.

Recommend you speak with Bana Haffar at Adaptive Realty (my brokerage).

So I adapted to the times and find its easier to find BRRRR rental deals and high density urban townhomes than it is to find flips.

For investors like Account Closed, they are willing to put in the work do value-add & repositioning, so they get rewarded by going the extra miles.Investors are just organisms adapting to different environments, if I was living in the fly over states no appreciation, my only chance of building equity is loan principle pay down, I would need and demand a much higher cash.

We also value the appreciation since we may reinvest equity or adapt to market changes using a 1031 exchange in the future.Appreciating Market (click on the table for full size)The following table illustrates what happens in a static or declining market.

I did sacrifice regular exercise, any weekends away, and my wife adapted and supported.  

If it were my house, and the house was ready to go but for the outlets, I would replace the 3 prong with 2 prong, and include (or let the tenant buy) adapters.

I like the KISS method too, a simple check list or point system adopted could place a neighborhood and dwelling within a better defined classification that would be adaptable anywhere in the country.

Another alternative if you need to plug something in is the 2 prong to 3 prong adapters which are only about $0.50 or you could rip off the ground prong from a surge protector.
