I like the Wack a Mole analogy.. if I think back on my career in this game that started in 75.there were all distinct and different events that perpetuated a slow down or price compression in real estate75.... coming out of VN war  soft economy83 - 85  sky high mortgage and interest rates  ( SL crisis  but a lot of money was made picking up those deals)89 to 92  in bay area  Earth quake and war.. prices in SF and bay area compressed 20 to 50%  ( we have short memories.) but that was also pre high tech.2000  dot com bomb  short lived 2001  Bin laden short lived07 to 2011  global credit crisis worse i have ever seen or I think any one basically living ever saw.. worse than great depression in many areas...

I do agree though, there are a number of uncertainties with the Foxconn plans and development being completed so there is a distinct element of speculation. 

The issue is that you are dealing with two distinctly different products each having a different driving factor.SFHs are not specific built rental income properties, therefor the price is driven not by rent but rather by the whim of home buyers.

Sure enough, there was a distinct water line on all of the walls of the basement and everything else down there, which we now know is why the boiler and water heaters had rust on them. 

I understand when purchasing/titling properties and therefore holding or selling properties, in the name of your LLC, you create and operate a separate and distinct entity. 

That’s an important distinction because your end buyer’s bank likely won’t include that fee in the loan, which means your end buyer will have to come out of pocket to pay it.

Inexperienced or conservative investors do not grasp the concept that every property has two distinctly different income streams.

Are there any distinct advantages to one or is it more based on my credit score, debt to income ratio and down payment as to which may be more advantageous at the time of purchase?

welcome to BP's Lisa. we are in Lakewood, and carry the distinction of being the longest running newbies on the forum. best of luck

@John Woodrich There is a distinction between true cash flow and artificial cash flow.
