@Suzanne Griffiths  I get it  but for the average investor who cannot buy 100's of them there is no real impact just financial suicide.. you need to be able to change entire neighborhoods this is a big money play if its going to happen at all.. and in many instance most of this stuff should be torn down and repositioned.   ?

Foregoing savings and relying solely on a line of credit for living expenses seems like financial suicide.

northrop grummond was just awarded a $60B stealth bomber contract, so i would look at SFR's that would appeal to middle income tenants that will be coming to the area.  6000+ new jobs will be a nice boost to the area, especially to SFR rentals. 

@Mindy Jensen  you beat me to.. it last thing I am going to do is just barge into someone's home... that can be suicidal in today's environment..

Our bombers kept getting shot down by German fighter planes. 

Suicide rates are higher than homicide rates in the US and WAY higher than justifiable homicide rates, and a given gun that a law-abiding person owns is therefore statistically more likely to be used to kill themselves than someone else.

A spouse commits suicide.

Exclude suicides.

I beg to differ.Finally, I'm saying that at least in real estate, every single person I've met with very high initial financial goals such as the one outlined by the OP tends to eventually meet with spectacular failure due to their taking on suicidal risk.Glad I could clear that up for you.
