Ok, now, conversely with real estate, that is simply not possible. '08' was the biggest hit to real estate in our life times, of EVERYONE alive at the time of it, right.

Over the last (3) years I have seen some extreme cases of expedited equity where an investor buys an older home or "Ugly Inventory" and then bats clean up on the ARV in 12 months.To give you an example I helped an investor refinance her home in 2023 pull cash out to buy a $65K home all cash.

I thought that I should post a follow-up to this thread. 

While we didn’t need significant updates, our team focused on cleaning, staging, and marketing to highlight the home's features.

I can check the Register of Deeds site, type up a deed, and purchase a house in 2 hours.

If you walked up to Michael Jordan and said, "I want to learn sports" he would walk away.

If title is clean, a cash deal can close in 7-14 days.

Are you suggesting the Regs would not hold up?

We are having a hard time coming to a consensus of how to identify, underwrite, and basically take the jump. ( we don't want to screw it up lol) I've searched this topic on the forums but figured someone could give some insights given our situation.

For me in 2023:No LLC’s, 12 properties in 2 states, only 1 state income tax, no w-2’s, a pension and a 1031 exchange.I was charged $1,275, up from 2022 when I was charged  $1,175 but didn’t have an exchange.
