Most of our investments we look at IRR (time value of money) to determine which investment is a good fit for us at this time - which factors in returns, risk and time of investment - is it a short term investment we want to get appreciation play or long term fixed income investment.

The screening process plays a big role in the odds of collection.

We do not know if big players are shorting their own positions because they plan on collapsing the bubble.I do hope Jerry Shen was able to turn his fortune from Yahoo!  

Slightly less bookings, way less lead times, prices have dropped.January 2025 is promising relative to how 2024 has played out. 

How about realizing that when you use the current property taxes of a property you are buying to calculate your per door profit that the following year your taxes will reset to what YOU paid for the property and will likely significantly increase your tax expense - which can take you from a positive cash flow to a negative cash flow on a low cash flow property… now you are paying your tenants to live in the property every month out of your W2 income  hoping for an appreciation play until rents hopefully increase.I could go on and on.  

If not, it's your word against his.Let's play this out.

If you have rental(s) or plan to get one and want to decide between long/mid and short-term rental strategies taxes do play a roll if you have high W2 income you want to try and reduce you tax burden. 

However, I received some feedback from one of my partners that the play here would be for an investor to subdivide or re plat the land for a multiple tenant situation.

I'm going to wait till the end of July 28,2020 and see how everything plays out.

When you have won the game, it's time to stop playing."
