Hi Paulette, I have 1 property (about to be 2) in Lansdowne and 2 around the corner in Upper Darby.

The hedge funds analyze a pool of notes on a macro level (ie their average results with a certain category of notes at a certain LTV).

That's where starter buyers in that entry-level category are buying right now and they're going to be fixing their homes.

I mean a convoluted 0% credit card idea might be ill advised but at least we could argue the merits, this just completely makes no sense on any level?

Give yourself the margin necessary to address the level of risk you are comfortable taking on and then move forward.There are no guarantees in anything you do.

That insight is far above my level of expertise but he might know what he is talking about. 

Turn key operators in warm belt states there is just not enough inventory for a viable business model unless it is at much higher price points than cold belt.Cold belt states tend to give off higher cash flow at lower price points but in general the growth patterns and appreciation levels are more isolated.

It is very difficult for entry level buyers to find affordable housing in Austin.The Austin market is quickly turning into a speculative market that I believe still has a year or two to go before the hammer comes down.  

I wouldn't dream of declaring a paid up, properly notified intent to vacate 2 days before.Impatience and RE don't mix in RE on many levels. 

I am currently reading Brandon Turner's "The Book On Rental Property Investing" and have just recently dove into the chapters about finding "fixer uppers" in order to purchase a better deal and in my case, Househack/Buy & Hold/BRRRR.
