The dollar is sure to eventually rise up again as it cycles all the time and then when I sell a foreign investment, I don't convert the same number of dollars back.Seems to me, this would be the time to be SELLING foreign investments to get the extra dollars.

Yet, the eventual rise (or fall) in value will occur whether you have a mortgage or not.

Hello,I am new, well I have bought several properties over the years but am about to launch into pre foreclosures with the hope of eventually being a full time investor o single family houses, to wholesale at first and then to hold for rental.

I hope to become a fix and hold investor eventually, but my cash-flow requirements and capital availability won't allow me to do that quite yet.

I think the probability of that happening is near zero if I have $4,000 per month coming in passively from REI, even if the internet eventually fails me.

They may sit for awhile they do get eventually buyers !!!

My strategy is buy low, improve, and hold to rent; eventually sell for long term capital gain and reinvest all proceeds.

I collect more upfront to cover the eventual "move", which seems to be the only way....let me know if you know of another way because I'm all eyes (ears in person)

Even a property that only breaks even, if it is in a good area will usually go up in value yearly, rents will gradually increase due to inflation, and eventually your mortgage will get paid off and your income will climb rapidly.I bought a house 6 or 7 years ago I lost about $50 a month on.

Keep in mind that if you want to scale that business, you eventually have to "put down the hammer".Being a flooring contractor is a certain advantage, capitalize on that.
