joe, that is great that 3 years was good enough for you in you market and in the large complex segment of renting.

My segment comes on around the 48th minute.

The answer will depend on the finance arrangement for the construction segment.

Ultimately, the reliance on any single segment of the market leaves you at increased risk in any kind of investment.

I won't argue with the data since I haven't checked the sources, but I will say it's not my observation for the particular location and market segment I'm operating in.   

Part of the segment went to some of the areas that Jay was talking about in the 60 Minutes documentary.

This is how you find deals at 30% or more discounts from "market price".Now about which segment of the market to concentrate in:If you had $200K to invest you could buy (4) $50K houses, (2) $100K houses, or (1) $200K houses.

But as the fallout from the collapse of the riskiest segment of the mortgage market spreads, wealthier investors who overstretched are also being sucked into the foreclosure hole.

Here is a link to a follow up on the Fox report on A&Es Flip This House.

Certainly sub segments (particularly the low $100k) will still be strong but other segments seem to be in for some pain.I think its generally a very dangerous market for both the buy and hold investor and flipper.
