So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

Even in the nascent years of Communism, the idea was dead within 10 years; the Soviets only managed to recreate a society of oligarchs and peasants under the lip service of equality.

Maybe talk to the city and see what the process is.Now of course you don't know how things are going to play out.

And right now the bigger cabins are not a good cash flow play but might be a great equity play when you look back in two to three years.  

So things like, xbox/playstation ping pong for the kids maybe a turf strip to play some putt-putt for the adults etc...

Cash flow is real, but it’s often a long-term play.

The play is that rather than having to wait until the foreclosure process is completed, the investor can rent out the property (and earn a return - after rehabbing it, of course) during the process.

This plays into the affordability issues for tenants by allowing them to live in nicer neighborhoods for less money, yet I get monthly revenue comparable to short-term rentals.

So many of the builds I've visited, some multiple times, seem to be frozen in time: the homes are dried-in (roof paper, windows and doors), tiled floors, drywall installed, and then a dead-stop.

However, still one of the best plays out there.
