If that is the case, you will be looking at a real estate market cycle curve which is a sideways "S" with the recessionary periods at a higher level each cycle (lasts an avg 5-7 yrs. 

I have 23 yrs in RE 203Ks Ive done lots for homeowners as a REFI, or buyers as buying a 1-4 as owner Occ with 203K, and worked with NON Profits doing 203Ks,  one of my 203Ks involved $350,000 to add a second story using a REFI.

I've been working on high end homes, both spec and custom for 4 yrs now and i would say 90% installed viking, subzero, wolf.  

Sticking to my original estimates of 12 addresses per year for the subdivision I did some math.12 trims jobs = $5,8446 siding jobs = $10,5001 yrs land maint split 50/50 = $9,600And oh ya this is BP, so I can't forget my 5 rental properties, that net me $18k/yearGranted I do manage all of these projects but lets call this a semi passive income of $44k/yrI have more ideas of for additional revenue streams too, but all in good time since I'm pretty darn busy right now.

What's wrong with buying for $3k, spending a little to fix up, advertise and sell at $6k with terms of 10-12% for 5 to 6 yrs? 

and I have been doing this for just 6 yrs!! 

-each pc has to be 40,0oo sq ft and has to have 200 feet of a roadfrontageMy thought is I could divide my land now into two, set it up so that i can divide it again in 5 yrs... that would mean i need some road/ lot plan to utilize my land right to get 4 properties out of it. ya know, question to ask... is each pc HAS to have 40,000 sq ft, but i wonder if i could do duplexes and get more use out of the land?

In 2 yrs, All leases will expire and be raised to market which will put my avg rent at 1k/mo or a 33% increase in rent.  

Now that's a total contradiction to my Cash is King, but wait, there's more.In 1997 we got into the MFU for the 305k  and started reaping cash flow over some 18-19 yrs. 

Of course I would try to price them to sell in a month, but if I had to hold them for 1.5 yrs I would make $100k+, much more if they sell right away, but I see what you mean.
