I get plenty of offers now that I don't really need them, but I'm stockpiling the checks just in case ;) They usually expire within 60 days though.

If so, I would get the cheaper house assuming its not an hour from work and stockpile the extra cash for the next deal.

- well done @Keenan Fitzpatrick @Jeremy Tompkins @Connor Dunham - Chris - I'd add - having a little time should allow you to start getting some discounts on the materials you want to stockpile and have on hand for the renovations - if you want to DM me I have some coupon connections that can help you save $$! 

They are also cheaper to get into so you can use the equity from your appreciation market properties to help fund your cash flow acquisitions.Once the appreciation market is nearly done crashing you can use the cash flow you stockpiled from your insane CoC returns to fund buying more appreciation properties.Rinse and repeat every 10 years or so.

Your best bet might be to stockpile the special pays you'll receive while in Bahrain and as much of your regular pay as you can so that when you get back you have some capital to work with. 

Wondering about their exit strategy, they seem to just be stockpiling properties.

Just a thought for you Doomsday Guys:If it really goes down, the things of value you are stockpiling had better be portable.

I have an emergency stockpile of food and water (as Homeland Security recommends) and have never needed it.

That leaves 1125.00 to show as cash flow to stockpile and get approval on another loan.

I had to pay back taxes of 5k, and it happened in about 3 weeks, which is super fast.it's a ranch, 3 bedrooms, brick, basement, 2 car garage, backs up to a high school. it's between Beech Daily and Inkster road.it's dirty, the roof had caved in at one point and my roofer will go there and change it soon. the hardwood in the room where the roof caved in is moldy, obviously been wet for awhile.this house will be cleaned, demoed, locked and will wait for us until we can get to it. we are 4 houses behind at the moment, so it's nice to stock pile for "rainy day".i am not revealing the price yet because i might wholesale this one. there's plenty of spread for someone to make some money on it..i have another one under contract for 66k from the MLS, but i migth pass on that one since i am low on funds at the moment.still self manage, have a 8-4 day job, a wife that travels out of state during the week and 2 monsters under 4 yrs old to take care of.yes, i think about quitting my day job daily, thanks for asking. :)
