The amount of people who doesnt even care of what a cautious investor has to say tells me they are with the water up on their neck.  

What can you do with 140,000 in your neck of the woods?

For me it is a gateway but who knows how I'll feel once I get neck deep.

I already see more downtown office buildings than usual on the market in my little neck of the woods.Not so much office that interests me in this environment, but I am open to exploring new niches and asset classes and potential repurpose methods. 

Even when i get asked about being the owner i refer them to "well "(insert company)" owns the home" so they don't later on bottle neck me with resident questions or work. although i do find it true to have a longer retention rate when the resident has a small family owned business they are renting from rather than a huge corporate company.cheers,

See if the hair stands up on your neck at some point.

In my neck of the woods the property is dirt cheap and rent is above market because it's government subsidized.

@Dennis M. describing All of Dave’s audience as toothless red necks is a bit much..

She literally couldn't look higher than a person's naval unless she stood sideways and then turned her neck to the left or right.

-you can close in 1/3 of the time and that gives an advantage over other offers-you avoid having a bank breathing down your neck-you don’t have to deal with and pay for appraisal or lenders title policy -you can sometimes get a better deal but in a hot market it doesn’t really help.
