Only idiots are impressed by cars.Seriously, you could be banking an easy 75 G a year and never go hungry or have to ride the bus.Not to mention the rental property sounds like a loser.

How many rides do you get and what kind of miles do you cover?

If you are engaging in real estate in an active fashion and generating earned income as opposed to passive capital gains, then you can set aside some of this income into your own IRA or 401k and reduce your taxes on that income (that government match I mentioned above).  

By the time construction actually begins and new comps hit the area, properties purchased around this time could ride a soaring wave of appreciation in 3-5 years.

Enjoy the ride!

I think tiny houses are fashionable, but not a fad.  

Be careful if these are 2 bedrooms because this will cause the vacant rate to ride a little high.

Additionally, most folks have savings and are willing to ride things out for a little while, which would mean that there would be a lag.I would say deals can probably be had at higher price ranges.In any case, flipping is not my niche I focus on, so hard to comment on your original question..Ram

Hope you'er ready for a great ride to the top by using all the free tools and more.
