I'm just speculating here and more info could change my opinion in a hurry.

Still more research is needed but that is a start.The numbers presented will have no history...talk about speculation.

That is compared to the Speculators, "Dumb Money," Retail Investors, who are usually doing the opposite.

If you're thinking it is a short term play (10 years or less), you're probably gambling quite a bit and being speculative at the very least.So you lose a closet and you don't have to get in a car to deal with tenant issues.

If an investor wants to buy from me there, they're welcome to :) Also, my thinking was that I could potentially make a larger profit if I find a property that's under market enough, rather than just making a standard wholesaler's fee.Granted this would be a lower volume business than the higher turnaround wholesaling biz..Anyway, this is just speculation so I'm looking to you guys to correct my thinking on this.. which you guys are doing an amazing job of doing.  

Stay away from speculative reasons for investing, especially stuff you "heard."  

So, you would expect the economy to soften first before you see an impact to real estate, ignoring excessive speculation in the market.Since the economy has yet to break 2% in inflation, the Fed is likely to go slow on balance sheet easing or Fed rate hikes.There are a few things to look at with real estate: new construction starts, property supply and demand, rent demand, and a few others, Right now, the new starts have yet to recover.

The process was pretty straight forward  and the terms were very favorable for a speculative construction loan.  

Those properties eventually went negative cash flow AND negative equity.If you're not cash flowing, you're speculating. 

Everyone buying on the merit of anticipated appreciation is speculating.
