'm thrilled to join this vibrant network of real estate enthusiasts!

Let's break it down in simple terms.Imagine you're at the amusement park, and you have two options: a roller coaster and a merry-go-round.The roller coaster is thrilling and full of ups and downs, just like the growth path in real estate.It can be exciting, but it also requires patience and the ability to handle unexpected twists and turns.The merry-go-round, on the other hand, offers a smooth and predictable ride, much like the cash flow path.

IntroductionBuying a property can be a thrilling adventure, especially when you're searching for the perfect place to call home or a smart investment opportunity.But before you dive headfirst into the world of real estate, there's an important step you should never skip: property inspections.What Are Property Inspections?

You did well with the appreciation gamble. 

I could have  bought a 2 or 3 million dollar building made 100 k net a year instead of spending it .. but never have a potential 30 mil upside.. so yes speculation and gambling thats what we do.. but we also use our noggin to buy the right properties.. not just some rental house and hope for the best.

I've yet to find an insurance agent that i'm thrilled with. 

Blow away all expectations, it's in a rental program and I'm thrilled with how it's performing.

It's also the reason that investing in rentals does not make financial sense in Seattle unless gambling on appreciation.Lubbock seems to look worse every time I visit because there are few incentives to fix up older properties.

Listen to @Gino Barbaro He and his partner have consistently demonstrated they know how to buy multifamily properties at one "grade" - improve both the properties and tenants - then refinance "profitably" You should reach out to @Sarah Gamble who is also active in Ft City

However, I see more listings with price drops lately as flippers investing in suspect areas are not winning that gamble.
