If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

I don't know that I would gamble and say you could sell it if it doesn't work out, you could be holding it for some time.

They can all work but it is important to recognize there are differences in markets.  

Which is not true and riskier to only gamble on appreciation I think.

I've lost money on deals that I took a gamble - Detroit homes with more taxes owed than the value of the property, and I've made money.What else can I tell you?

Surprisingly, they agreed, allowing us to close the deal quickly and on much better terms.One crucial aspect of seller carry financing is recognizing the tax advantages it offers, especially through a 1031 exchange.

Sometimes you may not want to be recognized as the buyer, or you may not want to reveal that you plan to move in; especially if it means you have to non-renew a tenant. 

You just have to know how to recognize a deal and be willing and able to take fast, aggressive action, that's how you get the good stuff. 

Tenants have to compete with dozens or hundreds of others for incredibly high priced rentals, to the point where cottage industries spring up to help place tenants.While I will never vote for policies that replicate the poor outcomes of other cities in my hometown of Denver, I do, sadly, recognize that just holding onto my properties and watching increasingly restrictive and destructive policies get implemented will lead to long-term appreciation and rent inflation relative to cities with more landlord and developer friendly policies. 

Sure... if you recognize that that would likely fall under the category of mortgage fraud lol.
