I can't time the market because I don't have a crystal ball.

It's almost as if this was all orchestrated to intentionally cause the bubble and come in the back door cleaning up the mess to repeat the process churning profits.I don't know if securitized portfolios of SFDs will fly, Warren Buffet seems to think so I believe, he has a pretty good crystal ball in manipulating or seeing the interactions between market industries.

I get the idea of cash on cash returns, but if someone told you that you would see 1% in price gains over 20 years (in other words, a 20% gain), you'd have to ask yourself if that acceptably beats inflation and the cost of the interest on the mortgage, and I bet you'd decline to purchase if you had that crystal ball.

The water is crystal clear and a steady flow rate unlike a french drain system would be.

I've found 2 online: The Marion Count REIA that meets in Ocala, and the Citrus Realty Investors Group that meets in Crystal River.

It is not anywhere near Crystal Lake, so that was a long drive for you.I am curious why no one responded to your post.

Let me be crystal clear, the definitions of classes I was referring to was ONLY for large multi family properties, not single family.

Cheaper than a crystal ball and much more predictable.Just like author/investor John Schaub says, 'You can't fix stupid', I suggest, 'You can't fix cheap'.

I also had two finance grad students that after a year, began to get it, not at an underwriting level so much bust understanding the crystal ball aspect.

Seems like investors learn from folklore and foggy crystal balls by self appointed experts on the internet, we all know an expert is someone more than 50 miles from home talking to strangers or anyone on the internet. :) My point was, if you really understand the basics then it only takes a bit of imagination in applying the basics to creative solutions to build any transaction that is lawful and profitable.
