For me it is better to find a really good deal (meaning price way below market), renting the property for a few years and then selling it, instead of chasing quick flips, or following the cashflow mantra.I don't really see any reason to rush and purchase properties when prices are hitting 8 year highsThis week I attended a conference call with the CEO of a big airline in Europe, who defined the current market as «a rollercoaster», impossible to predict, and gave a grim outlook of the current situation of air traffic and the airline industry..When people don't fly or travel, aircraft manufacturers don't make money, carmakers lower production, rental car companies go bankrupt, car sales go down, and people are being fired by millions.. maybe it's the time to be patientEven oil traded at negative prices just a few months ago!

I have two different deal opportunities with 2 different partners so I want to make sure we strategically structure our properties for success from day 1.

I hope to have such a simple, strategic, objective, and successful outlook on real estate In a few years after I gain more experience.

We limited our depreciation deductions strategically by capitalizing purchases to spread them out as much as possible giving us a higher bottom line on our schedule E. 

Strategic foreclosures ran rampant in 2008.

Acquisition targets are strategic.

@Cameron LamWhat an awesome strategic way of trying to hit your goal !

Most the "guys" (at the time, a female aero engineer was rare) were 20 yrs older and were some the early employees at Douglas Aircraft in El Segundo, CA.  

I think this is a time to be careful and strategic but I don't think it's a time to sit on the sidelines, especially with today's low interest rates. 

Motivating to watch your journey snowball into partnerships and other strategic ways to finance deals!
