As I just got home from a 2-mile walk with my dogs and got screamed at by a random meth addict and got to listen to a guy sitting in a tree telling the 'government' exactly what he thinks of them.

There is not a motivation to move beyond spending money as soon as it appears, that is the culture they have grown up in.I've had applicants scream at me when I've declined them because they don't meet my income criteria.  

It sends up a red flag for me that screams "unprofessional".  

Unless you wanna experience raging lunatics screaming at you because they have recieved letters and phone calls for being late on several debts they owe! 

I'm not saying that they can't kick and scream and report you to the Attorney General. 

Nothing screams "DIY" louder than a crappy paint job over lumpy drywall - take your time, do it right & get the tools you need to do the job. 

I'm very surprised some Realtors haven't come on here and got all "crabby patty" on everyone for verbalizing their opinions and experiences. obviously as an investor I completely agree when asking a Realtor anything related to "investing" you're wasting not only your breath but the oxygen it takes when the agent gets all gaspy for air and flaring their arms around like a monkey screaming, " the end is near!

You could look for screaming low deals that only cash buyers could get, and maybe use $100K only for buying those deals.

We're still in an inverted rent to value situation, so cash flow on anything is tough right now, unless you can find a screaming deal.
