Noticed in the HAR press release the housing market has cooled down but is at a acceptable healthy level.

I even have sales experience and convinced a hars money lender to fund the deals but with money for appraisals, down payment and to pass the application process with the lender it is dead in the water.

We were able to get high liability insurance coverage during my son's new build regardless of what the contractor is required to hold & must be presented to the Town Bldg Inspector before permits are pulled.My concern was the new archaic NY State scaffold law(s).Then when I saw young kids roofing three stories up (for one of the subs) without harnesses I threatened to throw them all off the property.

I think it would behove investors to ask themselves "why is this turnkey provider selling me this property instead of putting it on the MLS and opening it up to countless buyers that could potentially offer a price higher than what's listed?"  

I’m unsure if commercial plays by different rules when it comes to the BRRR strategy.Also, with commercial how long should I expect to wait before being able to harness that equity?

We are not even close to a balanced (6 month inventory) according to HAR (Houston Association of Realtors) has us at 3.5 months inventory (Feb Report)https://www.har.com/content/mlsHouston remains a sellers market for now

I'm a huge book wonk, and enjoy swimming, the outdoors in general, home brewing, travel, and cooking/bbq.My goals, to start, at least:Never stop learningNetwork - Partner - Develop relationships in the areaIncome - Income - IncomeDeveloping systems and working on time managementRehab jobs on the side to add to the ability to produce #3"Retire" from my day job by 40I'm also quite interested in personal finance topics, as well as harnessing the power of technology and data to make quick decisions; although I generally abhor black boxes.

For example, the January HAR report shows a 10% decline in home sales in the Houston area in November of 2015 over November 2014. 

HAR has released some data indicating that there are more homes on market, sales are slowing down, and inventory is increasing.

HAR is providing me with a free website, and I just buy the domain.
