I'm a member of the Facebook group for the club and I'd love to come to a meeting but I work on Tuesday's so chatting on here is my best bet for now.

If there are $2500 in materials, an ok bet is to factor $5000 total for the work.

Which one provides a safer bet for cash flow and stable renters?  

As a practical matter you can bet that your exploitative tenant, who has already lawyered up and sent you a legal letter, is going to try and halt your eviction.

If there are large issues - structural, safety issues with a home, you can pretty much bet a creditor is going to want to hold a repair escrow on top of everything. 

Are you betting on property appreciation or are you cash flowing?

@David Forester, it'll be interesting to see, but @Eddie Lehwald has a lot of timing issues, and based on the 10-1 city council's voting record, my bet is that they're looking to preserve the inner neighborhoods and promote density on the outskirts.

I could be off a little but I bet that's close after watching these wholesale posts the last 3 years I have been on BP. my 3 year anniversary is middle to end of FEB this year.

The only bet is an executive action like what Wyoming did in their legislative approach to MANDATE COAL USE to create power. 

Maybe if I'm on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, but you can bet I won't be too worried about doing my books if that's the case.
