I want to see very juicy cash-on-cash returns on RE investments.Now, given that long term Cash-Shiller data shows inflation to be the ONLY driver of house prices besides changes in lending policies, you'll likely get this amount of appreciation and more.Don't get me wrong, I have RE investments.

I am not sure where you are looking to wholesale but there have been some unique NEW transfer tax laws here in PA.Robin

:cool: The Fed Publishes the data.

Nc Mark,I have a friend that does data analysis for the prison system here in California.Recidivism rate is 80-90 % depending on who you ask.70k per inmate PLUS medical costs, (this information is a few years old) in a system where hepatitis.AIDS and TB are rampant.90 some percent of people in prison in California at least, are there for drug related crimes with the attendant drain on court systems, social services etc. tTe cost is staggering and has absolutely no effect on the use of drugs.The largest cash crop in California is green and smells like skunks but it is completely untaxed.

It's pretty hands off as the T/B usually pays for minor repairs If you get transferred you can sell your option or not worry as the T/B is taking good care of the property.

Title is often transfered that day, can't do that with financing contingencies.HML or private financing may be an option.

My thoughts on how we let the whole thing happen goes back the conception of the federal reserve system by a group of competing bankers in secrecy (all public data now).
