Thrilled to have finally taken the leap from just reading and learning to really making a push at this!

Hello everyone! I just joined today. I am a full time real estate investor from Northeast PA. When I first started the business in 1998, I soaked up every bit of information I could get my hands on. I read books, I vi...

If you, based on market indicators, believe that there will be appreciation then hold on however we all know that's a gambling mans game. 

Deja vu from 2005-2007..........Yes, you need to leverage your equity to keep moving forward....wont argue that....but to pull out ALL your equity to go buy more properties in a very high market, sounds like a huge gamble to me..... use the leverage....hell yes.....but using ALL of your equity is a huge ALL IN bet..... you better be able to back it up if there is a big correction......Guess I'm just a wimp.....hope you are right.......

They are then faced with gambling that rates will stay low until they can refinance or sell the asset.So how do forward commitments work?

I too was not thrilled with the mundane 9-5 existence.

Or you would be forced to sell at a greater loss than you now face.Although real estate investing at the best of times is high risk what you face with this property, in my opinion, is a 100% gamble.
