Charles, Kenny here : ) I guess I should invite you personally to my office here in Tampa FL to meet me in person and get ALL the facts for yourself without speculation from others who've never met me or done business with me.

While that's not fantastic by any means, it's just the dividend yield; there's also potential capital appreciation (which, many on here would probably say is the same as speculation on appreciation of real property).3.)

Speculation looks like this will continue to increase.

The property is in a very good and popular area of town, although I'm not necessarily interested in buying it in order to speculate on appreciation.  

LA went crazy .. people asking 600k for a money loosing proposition in South LA for a 1b  three-four-plex with GRM of 12-13 ... and get em sold .. either I am not getting something or we are seeing creation of yet another bubble created by wide eyed speculating idiotsPlease, put me on your list of buyers for your wholesaling in SB.Kind Regards,Leonid

That ranges from mobile home courts, raw land, new home speculation,apartments, sf homes....heck, I'll buy anything if my gut tells me I can resell for a profit....I'm heading to Florida next week to see what all the hubbub is down there....I'd hate to miss out on the opportunities that I've heard about down there without at least checking it out for myself....plus I'd like to become a snow bird some day soon......

You can dream all you want about how you will be able to improve the property once you own it, but when negotiating you need to let them know you are buying on facts not speculation.

Hi Jennifer,I did not do anything yet....just speculating right now (wanting to do this)....I of course would have an out clause of financing and inspecting...my question is, is it fine and is it the norm to go into a contract hoping to flip it but not being able to honor the contract f I don't find an assignee...if not what other ways is this done...any ideas as well would help as I am new to this.Thanks

I can only speculate on this question, but to some extent, it sounds like you may incorrectly believe Meg's interest in the property is greater than what it is.
