I mean I had not heard about it as a viable market and I have a pretty good idea of most of the viable markets in the country.. so right there I am thinking wow.then I had done a ton of deals in the deep south and the same homes that were worth 20 to 50k in Memphis were selling for 200k in Charleston same house same condition.. and none cash flowed.. so I knew right there that these were basically all being sold to owner occs and that's where the real money is made in the flipping business unless your going to be a high volume turn key company.So then I am following Boeing pretty strongly being a private pilot.. and I understood they had battery problems with the 787 but they got those worked out..

Jay Hinrichs okay understood.

I understood the broad question you ask is more or less, How do the "big players" make it work, ie-cash flow?

You can compare them if you want, but trading and real estate investing are tough to compare unless they are both understood at the same level. 

Obviously, clear/clean title itself needs to be understood for the property in the begining.

It just needs to be understood that doing anything other than ignoring the cancer & anything going on in the tenant's life will decrease the profitability of the business.
