As exemplified by farmers in India who used local private money lenders to fund their crops, hard money and private money loans are greasing the wheels of the world economy in so many ways.

Clueless and motivated, but not wanting to just spin your wheels.

The people who get those entitlements spend them instantly, and it's the only thing keeping the wheels on the economy in tough times.

Bill Gulley Im not sure if I have note fever or just tired of running in the same REI wheel.

The ones that slide like hotel/motel blinds are even more durable.

With little experience & no funding you might want to read the book "Deals on Wheels" by Lonnie Scruggs and get your feet wet with buying and selling Mobile Homes or wholesaling them to others.

If you have not read the book "Deals on Wheels" by Lonnie Scruggs, I would recommend it.

I found this thread out there a little.I don't see people making more money in less time lazy through systems and processes.While those processes shouldn't define a person they are important to have in place and constantly be refining.Re-inventing the wheel every time is asking for lost time and additional work that is not needed.To the original poster it is YOUR MONEY.Take what everyone says with a grain of salt.Then determine what you would feel comfortable doing because if it goes South you wouldn't be losing their money.I look at this the same way conducting business as a commercial broker.If someone calls me up and is looking for a one in a thousand property I am sure it can be done.How long and how much time to get there is debatable.I don't personally base business models on long shots.I want to know when I put time in that my chances of getting a return are very high.It seems like this flipping business is getting tougher and tougher.I have been having many investors from across the country telling me that flips are getting to be more competitive and dried up.The volume is going down and they are tired of dealing with home buyers.They are looking for commercial properties to move to a different niche of investing.I can tell you I wouldn't want to hold SFR house rentals as an exit if it doesn't sell.I do find it interesting to hear what different residential flippers are doing on deals though.

I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect it to perform well given the nature of stairs.Lately I've been putting laminate in my rentals and have had great success with durability and eye appeal.

I remember my start in RE and feeling I was just spinning my wheels.
