(And it's my understanding that they bail more often than not)And if they DO purchase the house you'll only be hit with long term capital gains, as you would have held the property over a year.Thoughts?

Real Estate Rewind Starting overhttp://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/brandonatbp/file/real-estate-rewind-a-biggerpockets-community-bookGood LuckPaul  I been looking for a group to attend around my work schedule and unfortunately none of the free meetings are usually never held on the weekends or they cost money.

The property must be held for investment.

As it turns out, I have met all but one of the tenants and none of them are miners.

I have a fairly long stretch of rigid metal ductwork in he crawl space of an mid-50-ies property.

I held out and got an A. 

Have you done this with your own properties, and if so, has it held up well? 

We've thought about buying some precious metals as part of a reserve account as a hedge against inflation.

That way the title is held along with my earnest money?
