The hard work is finding the funds and vetting the promoters.

I see this as  huge risk .I am with Mike if you were buying A and B class I could see how this would have a chance, my fear is you end up like every other promoter who tried to make C class work and broke there pic doing so.now you have a bunch of investors who own homes that most likely can't be sold for what you have in them without the help of a highly organized turn key type sales and marketing effort..

When oil and gas prices rise, I never hear people running around talking about the appreciating oil and gas prices.Is the difference in the use of the terms simply wordplay pressed upon us by the USG and Financial Services industry to help promote buying houses?

Get a promotion and a raise at work?

If listing agents were honest they would be promoting themselves like maids.

@Bill Gulley  thanks Bill I teed it up so you could knock it out of the park.DCR is a critical number .... and because as a lender we are not really privy to the bottom line for an investor.. its the best metric we can use to decide if we want to fund a deal..I think what Marco was trying to get to .. is what will entice a buyer to buy a turn key were do I need to be on return.. and since they all confuse cap rate with rate of return on invested capital.. the numbers I hear form buyers is they want 10% or better.

I was long overdue for a promotion and made only half the salary I am now making, and I lived in DC (even more expensive than Denver).

Dawn Oree Time to grab some popcorn, sit back, and wait for the fireworks :) I think the net result is that you have a little of affiliate marketers out there promoting the program.

Bringing this back to the issue of druggies and other less financially fortunate people not being able to afford nice housing: the very codes that are supposed to promote providing everyone with "habitable" housing are driving home prices up.

Or.... maybe this is all just a precursor to the entire United States turning into a huge primary real estate market....similar to the Glengarry Glen Ross dynamic that occurred in CA during the 70's and 80's as described above by @Jay Hinrichs...lol, that's certainly what's being marketed to folks with money to entice them to invest.
