You sound smart so it shouldn't be a problem.

We gotta get smart and think of our own interests or we aren’t going to have a country left

Would it be smart to use VA loan on a house im california, thats probably over my price range?

Hello everyone, I would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to see if this property would be a smart "buy and hold".

hello you smart real estate investors!!

@Justin HerringtonSlick acronyms aside, buying smartly and forcing appreciation is an age-old strategy which can work almost anywhere.

It would be smart to position yourself to make fees on transactions because I think we're going to see a big run up here shortly.

If I was looking at the property as strictly an income property, it wouldn't have been a smart decision.

However I don't say this is career ending in anyways, theres ways out of bad deals if you are smart and have the energy to deal with it. 

- You don't "fall in love" with a loser - You evaluate it based more on the numbers than anything else - As long as you are smart and get inspectors, appraisals, contract bids from a team you trust, you know just about as much as someone who walks the property - Perhaps most importantly at this time, you can make a decision faster.I don't recommend doing this for uneducated investors or those without a solid team.
