But my heart isn't there, I think/talk only about real estate.

You can hold and even fold it into a larger property later through and exchange, thus delaying taxes.I would do this deal in a heart beat assuming the location of the property is good.

Your comment is really interesting and important because it reminds me that at the heart of all of these transactions are people and that we can be swayed by experiences and attitudes. 

With Amazon taking the old Euclid mall, about 800k sq ft, and now building a 1 million sq ft facility 20 min away in the heart of everything , seem as though pricing is going even higher.

At the end of the day, you need to explore different options and determine what you’re comfortable with based on the numbers and you’re desired ROI.Full disclosure for flipping, we recently finished a high end project and it is very involved, a lot of work and not for the faint at heart.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

@Darlene Julien investing here is not for the faint of heart.

and like you said you can always renegotiate to meet an under appraisal.And of course in my world it allowed us to 1031 out which, you might guess, is a subject ever so close to my heart :)@Cara Lonsdale as long as you don't get greedy and build in realistic appreciation factors you can even do this buying at retail. 

I'm a deep South gal at heart, specifically HOTLANTA, but circumstances moved me to Central PA and my REI blood, sweat, and tears paid off in a big, personal way.
