Post was meant to dispel the myth that an impending recession means the housing market is going to crash and that nobody should look to invest right now. 

@Tiffani Guy I'm looking to the same here with little to no money of my own, I did however have the funds and credit score last year to do, and there are 100% 100% HML lenders however I made a huge mistake on a renovation for a friend in florida, that being said if you truly want to succeed in flipping unless you do have friends and family who will actually pull thru on l ending you funds, you really need your own funds and excellent credit to get started, the idea of zero of your own money is a myth, even if you obtain a 100% 100% HML you still need to prove you have funds to cover your expenses and their interest payments. plus you need to bring something strong to the table, I'm a contractor and have more experience renovating homes then alot of people who flip, I'm still finding it very tough to find lenders who will actually pull through on a deal and for a decent compensation.

The myth is every TK seller is making huge margins which is not true.

I love working with investors that are dedicated to enhancing the communities they buy in and take pride in .

Real estate IMO should enhance your quality of life, if you have a life there.. why leave??  

My personal favorite books for investing so far have been E Myth by Michael Gerber, The One Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan, and Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.These 3 books are more motivational/how to start/run a business books; but I feel they are great places to start researching Real Estate Investing.

Bringing any yahoo over that he decides too..so that they can scope out my things...i'm not paranoid at all but i watch the news..this is 2017.

Or are we talking about mostly a myth and fear mongering...

My thing would simply to explain some options and if they wil sell, pawn them off on some local investors....I'm done I think...LOL.
