I am betting that they put renters in the house.

I have no data to back up my opinion), I'll bet you would find that many who have made their fortunes in RE made it from appreciation, not cash flow.I'd love to hear thoughts on this and hopefully I qualified my comments enough to indicate that I don't believe on betting strictly on appreciation, especially if you can't support the property that you are buying with your reserves.

You may not become a "classical" piano player, but I bet you can find an outlet for your passion.

But I'm betting that I will be able to find so many more good deals then and I always try to be a contrarian and do what others aren't.Point is, learn all you can about both and you will be a truly well rounded investor who is positioned to take maximum advantage of either market at any given time for the best potential profits.

YOU BET!

If you really want to stay, your best bet would be to find out why they want you out.

YOU BET THERE ARE!

Due to the high costs of HMLs, cash or a WLOC (that's already in place) are your best bet.

Untill then keep chasing your dreams and remember that I bet every investor on this forum that has done any significant number of investments have had good ones and some that weren't so good, the key is to learn from both, and the only time you truely fail is when you stop trying :mrgreen:

Or like a good friend once said, "Young man, try not to bet so much on the come!".
