In the "my discussion" section I find the old site scale why not on the recent discussions?

But now, seeing how many people have saved their entire lives for retirement and that dream is just fading into the sunset, I have decided to scale back my stocks and put some hard earned money into real estate.

This article reference trimming back Frannie & Freddie to allow the Government to get out selling mortgages.

Does that mean more risk for banks? And, if banks are allow to fail, more loan scrutiny will occur?

...

however I think you're all WAY off on your 'definition' of a "Marketing Campaign"You guys were more or less talking about 'techniques' then 'Campaigns' A Marketing Campaign needs to be something of a larger scale, not some silly need to rent a single house.

They would also be to scale and provide a basis from which you could have the draughtsman, an architect, or an engineer update them to show the structural renovations you wish to perform.

I figured I could start on a much smaller scale and earn some decent money on the side.

It's worth it at scale, but not worth it for just an occasional flip here and there.Now, all that said, let me add one additional thought...

but if you want to really take control of the situation and/or do this on a large scale (i.e. - more than just one lucky deal), you should be prepared to show people you're serious, and you can do this by giving them a few good reasons to consider this whole "5% down" idea.

I also do not believe that you can find 'really good deals' on any sort of scale (more than 5-10 houses per month).

We live in an upper scale neighborhood and believed we needed to make some upgrades to make it marketable.
