Physical silver

I was just curious if gold or silver could ever be used as collateral or some other commodity?

Why not look at re-developing homes or enlarging them: If you go on the MLS you will see a number of homes where you can do this: for example: eagle rock: look for homes that are selling for about 1.2 to 1.5 (they will be around 2000 sq ft to 2500 sq ft) in that area: Then look for homes in that area that are about 800 to 1200 sq ft with a decent lot size: Strategy: buy them under 800k : with 20% down: then get permits to build them up to the 2000 to 2500 sq ft: depending on other factors: that will cost you about 200k to 300k respectively: $800k plus $300k is : $1.1 and then sell them for 1.3 to 1.5 million. 2.

I’m in Silver Lake and would love to make it over the westside for a meet up. 

As a fix & flip guy who depended on my relationships with the top REO brokers in my local markets for Inventory, we where spoiled with 2-5 deals hand delivered to me on a silver platter each month.

Like if these homes would be as close to the core silver spring shore homes in-terms of rental and appreciation?

So I figured out how, keep em passive, bring a great deal on a silver platter and do all the things, and let them take advantage of me, 50% cut, all control.

Silver Spring, as you know, is a pretty broad city but most of the homes in the heart (University to 495) are going to be at minimum the low 200's. 

Rent by the room is good in Rockville, Silver Spring and Hyattsville.
