It isn't the entirely the fault of the investor to take advantage of this option to juice returns.

They use less leverage with appreciation plays and more leverage with cash flow plays.They don't need full leverage on appreciation plays to juice the returns because they are getting sufficient returns from appreciation (plus debt pay down, etc).  

Start with: title company plat map, go belly up to planning desk and talk about your idea.

Not sure if they would consider partnering on a flip (they do their own flips so the juice might not be worth the squeeze). 

Furthermore, you need to understand the risk associated with real estate—things are great right now, but can you sustain if your investment market goes belly up?

Paying taxes is our highest expense, and if we can get those reduced or even eliminated, it will severely juice your returns in the positive direction. 

If by special you mean you no longer want to rely on someone to pay you what THEY think you are worth or you have so much fire in your belly that you just want to do deals all the time even while you are working on your regular "job than yes, IMHO it does take someone special.

Wow, let's not get crazy now, it's never a bad day to talk about "The Juice"

Would recommend looking at the Airbnb route to juice up your cash flows. 

@Joe Alford lots of virtue signalers on her but I’m pretty compassionate myself so I’d give her some free prune Juice and a QVC gift certificate when I evict her.
