I agree with all of this.

I also agree with just 1 property I would just use Airbnb/VRBO platforms. 

However, just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I am in favor of the Government being given additional power to enforce additional laws and restrictions that infringe upon our freedom.

Hi @V.G Jason and Lilia,I came across this thread while digging into discussions about real estate strategies, and I couldn’t agree more with the focus on long-term thinking.

I agree.. just look at any large mid west or rust belt metro.. there is a ton of houses avaliable the question though will folks buy in certain neighborhoods where inventory is readily avaliable you can buy existing in many of these markets for far less than new builds.. so to me its really a neighborhood issue  a school issue a crime issue etc etc..

While I agree that redevelopment has hurt mobile home parks, ours is not the case.  

i agree that a new purchase at 75% equity will typically not have significant cash flow and may even be negative when properly allocating for all expenses.Investing to max equity without reserves is risky and you indicate would result in stress.  

Agreed... depends on your skill level.. if you have no experience at real estate other than maybe buying your personal resi.. and want to venture into this I can't see how the course would not be a good use of funds.if you have 20 years as an experienced investor or real estate broker then the course maybe is not needed.. but the contacts I am sure are worth every penny..  

I agree with @James Wise on this one.

agree with russell, first you are not gonna find a property at 70% ARV anywhere near DC (whether NOVA or MoCo or other parts of MD).
