With all of these factors coming into play.

@John ArendsenGlad you're thinking about diversifying your portfolio and potentially making an equity play at some of the crowdfunding platforms out there.

I've got a lot of private money in play and did my first deal Sub2 with a private loan behind it with none of my own money, but I had almost a year's training before I did it. 

Don't expect to be in an equity position when you buy though, in other words, it's definitely a long term play. 

Hey @Pat L. how much longer will the section 179 bonus deduction continue do you think?

There is still a value play there which I will explore very soon.

I don't think Kfalls is the land of milk and Honey but it's a lower entry point to play ball then other area's of Oregon.

I have always regarded it as a high risk value play due to issues with access to the rest of the city as well as less than stellar demographic.

) WOW.......I was amazed at how friendly people were (and nosy) and how willing to chat with me.I listed and sold a property that is now the Fallston Shopping center on Belair Road, lots in Bel Air, commercial properties on Mountain Road (Maryland) and a few small subdivisions to mention a few.While fellow agents sat in the office (playing politics, and waiting for the phone to ring while on floor duty, I was out there walking and talking and getting good exercise, and getting to know people and asking my simple questions and getting leads).

Buy in the lower-end areas for the great cash flow and then diverse your portfolio with some higher-end product as more of an equity play.
