Imagine being in an environment where motivated and focused individuals are growing their businesses together through the process of referring work to others? 

This is the best time for BRRR investors ever (if you can find a deal w/ deep discounts or value add) because its a simultaneous environment where the values are really high and the rates are still relatively low (currently easing downward as we speak today).In 2011-2013 rates were low but your appraisal was crap low so good luck back then when trying to do BRRR because you won't be saved by the new comps that come to market after you purchased your property. 

You took down a big fish today.  

Waiting a year might mean a completely different lending environment which could but you on the sidelines for a few years. 

Brianna, you are correct, when you put money into retirement account you get the tax break now and you can invest in tax-deferred environment.

Seems like they're just fishing.

The process of turning the rental unit and the lot into a more modern, safe and inviting environment has been slow since I am doing everything myself.

You can also go deep sea fishing out of Depot Bay just 7 miles from Lincoln City.

Bottom line is that there is opportunity and risk everywhere, no matter where you invest or what you invest in ... your duty as an investor is to craft and execute a strategy that meets your goals and compliments the market environment such that the opportunities are maximized and you are protected to a large degree (or avoid all together) the risks.

To be quite honest, it's totally different environment than from what I am use to i.e. urban/density/grid layout, as oppose to sprawl-like framework.
