I've been investing for over 10 years and also have a Realtors license and I still have the same problem...getting the golden number.Experiences and reviews of paid sites please.

Things don't normally cash flow here (appreciation is the golden ticket here instead, but then you are into the category of speculation), but prices are super high right now.

I was wondering more specifically what it’s like for people that are new home builders vs rehabbers, if you all approach it with a similar idea and looking for similar margins in mind in general...in essence, are you still typically trying to get your lot purchase + build costs between 70-75%-ish of the after-build value (not that that is a golden rule, but just for sake of sample) similar to a rehabber?  

If you have holding capacity ur golden but if I had to sell in 2009 I would have lost my shirt .

@Raven Henderson thanks, this info was golden!

In the Golden Triangle, you'll pay up to €5,000+ per sq m for a villa because that's where wealthy Portuguese and foreigners, including celebrities, want to be.

Quote from @Justin Golden: Hello BiggerPockets,I have an owner-occupied duplex and am looking for opinions on the following deduction.

In KY -  Louisville Lexington and Frankfort are locally called the "Golden Triangle of Kentucky".

Seller is SINGLE - does not qualify for the IRS code section 121 $500K exemption since not married, only $250K - also units are NOT equally allocated in their size (the occupied unit is much larger than than the other 1/1 units) Property is in the Golden State (CA) which does not recognize long term capital gains. 

I know that is a popular destination and its easy to commute to from the golden triangle.
