Time is something actually created by the human race anyways.

And, human nature being what it is, makes it a challenge for all but the highest-integrity (and altruistic!)

This is entirely my own thing, and nothing to do with the broader question hereGenerally more simple: I think it has been well proven that the vast majority of humanity cannot pick individual stocks, while it seems (SEEMS) to me that more people are able to find deals in real estate. 

Every May (8 years now) I participate in a week-long charity bike ride supporting Habitat for Humanity called Cover Indiana.

I checked with the city, county, fire department, Habitat for Humanity, churches, neighbors to the lot, and various development authorities.

My plan is to buy and RENT/HOLD for as long as humanly possible to reap all the benefits of long term home ownership.

And don't bother messing with the Big Banks if you want a Commercial Loan, you need to build relationships at a Credit Union or Small Bank that treats you like a human and understands the value of real estate.commercial is a proverbial no brainer in the sprawling northern suburbs of Atlanta.

Chicago many times those units your talking about are 2 flats... so 60 to 80k rehabs are not uncommon and like any other flipper they want to make 15 to 25k per deal.. just like any other human in the flipping business.. if people expect companies to do all this work to make 5k or something then they need to do it themselves. 

The human element is that you are providing a safe, clean affordable apartment for the ability to earn money.
