RE is a long term game. 

Wow this is the Ugliest table i've seen in years.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Francisco AvancenaThere are specific lenders who will do land dealsBut of course not as many as traditional real estate.The key will be skin in the game - typically for land because it is less liquid than a home the lender will want to have a lower ltv on the deal I fund land flippers currently in  CO FLA WA ID MT NV AZ OR TX SC GA VA  one thing about land though LTV is lower and RATES are NOT the same as typical HML rates are higher for raw land but its a specialty niche and a business that I grew up in..

@Cynthia Lee Depends on your jurisdiction, your relationship with the tenants, and your end game plan.

Somehow I think it's better to hold onto my own money and keep that dry powder on the sidelines waiting to get into the game if there are some emergency expenditures (haha, very likely with the kinds of deals I'm thinking about in class C neighborhoods).

Answering your phone calls while watching the games does not turn your living room into a home office.14-day free rent aka Augusta rule loophole.

I left a lot of money on the table because my CPA was not familiar with accelerated depreciation at the time.

Me and my partner both bring things to the table that the others don't.

There is really no reason to roll the dice in a craps game.
