I like to capture my real estate investments immediately and would prefer to pay cash.In Chicago you can get a 2 flat for $500g in a great neighborhood on the n/w side.  

But maybe that is not the point.Put those babies on septics, with a community powered solar well, and a natural gas capture system on the septic tank for the gas appliances and you will be plenty green.Interesting.

A recession is on the horizon, the market will correct, and you'll be able to buy a home for low 200s again and capture equity as it appreciates. 

We will capture the rehab progress here on BP so everyone can learn from this as well.2) Acquisition, Offers, Leads and RenovationI was not able to keep track of the leads we got this week with my team so the actual leads we've gotten this week could be higher.

Are they just looking to capture some profit in an up market?

There's no easy way to capture that stuff on a series of tiny photos on a web page.

Your post reminded me of this quote that I think you capture. 

As for IDX, once you're bigger and have more advertising dollars, it is definitely a tool for capturing leads, but you can do the same thing by buying zip codes, or interacting with leads on apps like realtor.com.

It is a really good service and certainly is a great system that we have that lets me not put so much time in lead capture on my site.  

During the reservation process, identity and credit cards are captured, The same way the host gets reviews, so do prospective guests which helps with screening, so although not impossible, I don’t see it as highly likely for the AirBnB to be used as a party house.
