Fix-and-flip is an option for faster capital growth, though riskier.

At some point they will be at the bottom.  

I have read information that states newer homes tend to appreciate faster after they first come onto the market.  

If it was me and I wanted to operate in a big way in PA I would be running billboards and ads big time:" Are you in a wholesaler contract want to make more money Call me "  I will beat anyones best deal ..

We’re upfront with sellers, letting them know we have no intention of buying the house ourselves but instead plan to wholesale it.This approach of honesty is so remarkably effective that we often don’t mention wholesaling until we've made the decision to wholesale rather than buy the property and flip it.What many wholesalers don’t realize is that by embracing honesty and transparency, success becomes exponentially easier and faster than by resorting to deception.With transparency, there’s no need to hide or pretend.

ya its not like moving to a 3rd world country plus you can get health insurance once you have your Golden visa for a very nominal amount according to my friend that has a Golden Visa. the 500k has to be in cash though I believe.. they bought a unit in Porto and one just north of Lisbon. sure beats Mexico I can tell you that..

I think if you realistically have enough deal flow of good properties, flipping is a faster way to a huge bank account, since a good flip should be between 30-50% return on investment every 4-6 months, if you are doing it all cash.  

I'd love to get beat up on this thesis.

The latter would be much faster to overcome.Aside from interviewing PMs, what are some good ways of identifying markets relevant to me and my goals?

So far we've spent $1850 on two different exterminators combined but at least the house can begin to get worked on.I am used to working at a faster pace and hiring contractors to get things done.
