As usual in any commodity squeeze producers and consumers get pinched and the middle men, brokers, traders, clean up.

Before I got into real estate investing I was a trader on wall st and I worked for a very well know very rich trader.  

Every bond salesman and trader has read one or more of his books. 

Me thinking the same like that before, til I make a realized capital gain of $120k in just four months.Even my contractor is surprised.I'm thinking more like stock trader rather than typical flipper when it comes to real estate, I examine home price appreciation extremely carefully.Just this month only I made another $120k from selling house , 120k from zillow predictable price LOL , I just time it correctly LOL

Live example of a trade I made:Reasoning for trade: real estate is high.

It is not a fair comparison when comparing a small landlord with a few houses to a day trader with years of experience.

Open up two accounts with an online trader such as TDAmeritrade.

I sold a 2.2 spec there 2 years ago for cash a wall st. trader who was burnt out .   

There is a reason why 86% of new stock traders blow up their account in the first 3 months. 

The basic house-buying process to give me a foundation for what I ultimately wanted to do.Also, don't move your handy man in to the property and trade rent for services, what a nightmare!
