So, the length is not really predictable...but there are unique options that will give you more control over this, like Cantor Fitzgerald has some 721's , and then there is a secondary market that Inland Capital has..I think it is them.. 

We are predicting that Las Vegas homes will continue to appreciate, but cash flow is tough to come by with homes until 350k right now.2.

The VA loan offers some advantageous benefits, and rates are predicted to continue to fall.

Not knocking Michael Blanks whatsoever bc that dude has it going on too.. but Tims operations and the way he structures every single deal he does seems a much safer, predictable route than majority of syndicators.

I'd also suggest running some for-rent ads, to see what type of response you get.It's notoriously difficult to accurately predict ARV on these types of properties, because they're so niche, and the market for them is usually completely different than the market for more standard properties...For instance, a lot of lenders won't provide a mortgage on a property for less than $100k--and if that's the case in your area, that would mean that the only potential buyers for the property are cash buyers, which makes selling the property more difficult.  

Of course real life can often throw curve balls and costs can be higher, or lower, than predicted which will affect the final profits (or losses).  

Predictions are a dime a dozen.

I secured financing for my first property through a conventional 30-year fixed-rate loan, securing a favorable interest rate for stable and predictable long-term payments.

"What can I buy within 45 days that will protect my capital, and provide me with a predictable return?" 

AirBNB is really a hospitality business more than a REI activity (it just uses real estate).I like long term rentals most because it provides predictable, stable income and that suits me and my wife better.
