one important point Diane is that what created the price drop was a once in a lifetime financial crisis that was world wide.. so unless your thinking there is going to be a repeat anytime soon the chances of SF bay area real estate retreating that heavily could be pretty wishful thinking.of course unless you bought in the millianiam building that is sinking

The market is wide open you can buy and sell a property without an agent the legal forms and contracts can be downloaded on the internet, why wait till 2025?

Not sure how you can go wrong in Cobb County but again everything depends on what dollar amounts we're talking about.Alpharetta, Johns Creek and Roswell are all great areas but get ready to open your wallet really wide.

It has two single wides currently. 

I modified two of my new builds this year to accommodate this requirement.. the larger national and production builders simply wont do it.I had one tenant that was morbidly Obese and basically bed ridden.. but she lived for some years like that I think maybe 5 or so.. it was an old single wide with an addition so I let her do whatever she wanted as when she left it was just going to the dump anyway  

If they turn it down all that money is gone.So if after studying all of those requirements and adding up all of the costs, there is still a delta in pricing wide enough to give you a healthy profit margin (risk-adjusted, of course, because there is a lot of risk here) then you have a winner.Now the elephant in the room...your example was an A property in a C- area. 

I doubt that they limit your LLC to Notes, but rather expect they permit a wide variety of RE investing and may call out notes as an example, but not limited to...

Still, it doesn't hurt to get the message out to aspiring investors (whether it comes from a millionaire mind or not) that real estate has risks, gurus aren't all altruistic, and I'm sure some folks come on to forums/podcasts/blog/etc. to "wide their circle".  

@Jason Pabon, do make sure you go into that buying out of state TK thing with your eyes wide open.

One of my Soldiers told me about their program: https://www.navyfederal.org/products-services/loans/mortgage/first-time-homebuyer.phpBottom line, no money down or PMI (in some cases).
