Its a very common strategy that is consistently deployed through the political realm.

I'm deployed for a few more weeks but when I get back I will definitely look up REIA meetings to meet people in the area that could help, thank you for the tip!

Hello everyone,I have finally returned home after a year and I am looking to connect with fellow investors. I would love to meet with some of you all from the NY/NJ area for dinner or coffee. I plan on being very acti...

Its good to have cash to deploy when opportinities present themselves. 

@John Teachout I agree with you and the others not preaching doom and gloom on this.For perspective, I was in the US Army and deployed to Africa in 2015 when then President Obama sent the military to help prepare for Ebola.Long story short: November 2014 forecast was 1 million DEATHS (not cases, which was a far higher forecast) per month by January 2015 in afflicted areas.

At the time the lease was signed, I was deployed and had been granted a waiver for one year because they were already over 15%.  

Wife and I are in our 40's and have some capital we are looking to deploy, we both have worked stressful jobs and looking to do something for ourselves now.

@Charlie Anne better opportunity to deploy your equity to get a better return 

I would just place that $130,000 in my bank and have it sit there, hoping for a downtown to deploy that $130,000. 

I am also a great believer in investing when there is distress and deploying capital when you can.If you are looking for yield in the short run, Manhattan may not be for you.
