I do have a pretty flexible job so I can move things around in my day if I came across an ideal flip.

When I deal with friends and family, I vet them to see how financially savvy and well off they are.

There are still some opportunities here, but its way tighter than it was even 6 months ago...Plenty of turnkey rental stuff with decent ROI around, though, that seems to be the game everyone is playing right now.

If you're only playing with $18,000 and you're all in on this deal, take the check and put the capital back to work on another deal.

This comes into play when partners are putting in unequal percentages.

Prash P I've been to the last 2 Ring meet ups, but I should be starting my new job soon so Im not sure how my schedule will play out.

You kinda gotta play that game sometimes.

So long as they are not playing each other I'm happy to see all 3 schools do well.

Cons:Illiquid, especially when you need it.I'm sure other factors like the pros/cons of depreciation, pros/cons of inflation, etc. play a big role, but I'm not thinking that deep… yet.

If the house checks out physically, then keeping it seems a fairly way to play appreciation in a strong market, with you retaining the free option to bail out in the black swan scenario.
