Like "renting to section 8 tenants is actually really easy", "your agent is not on your team just connect with people like me doing hundreds of deals every day and use my team instead", that hood properties will have "15-25% net caps" for beginner out of state investors when in reality they will definitely lose money every month due to the rent not being enough $ to maintain a rental property, never mind all the tenant issues involved with this property class or the difficulty of managing them remotely... but he's done thousands of them just this week while sitting on the beach in Florida... 

You can do everything right on a flip and just have the timing be bad or just have it sit for no good reason.

You sit down and weight the pros of cons in the end.

And yes, biggest risk is letting it sit for 12 months.

I wouldn't necessarily put a lot of efforts into improving/building/spending in hopes of staying booked solid, but it is a nice 'side hustle' for a pretty piece of land to bring in some extra income while it sits. 

Quote from @Clinton Bolton: good day everyoneIm a foreign property investor and have been looking into tapping into the US market for quiet some time now.

I dont think anyone is just quitting their job to sit at home and do nothing. 

@Kevin S. It

If you buy an EV, you have a large battery sitting in your garage that can be used to power your home in an emergency.

So, they don't owe you anything and you should probably be grateful for any amount they gave you.1) It's probably cheaper for them to offer you "hush money" to keep quiet vs suing you for libel.
