The existing value add properties are generally quicker to stabilize cash flow and less risky as the building is already there and some cash is coming in usually.I had one project 11 acres right next to a Costco but decided not to do the project on my own.

Evictions are much quicker.   

Mine were not at least in the quick flips the opposite ordinary income.. if you hold the tract more than a year cap gain.. if you buy the tract in your Roth  ( which was not invented yet)  but you younger investors its there for you.all gains on investments in a roth are tax free.. but consult your accountant for accuracy.bottom line with Timber it grows lumber Is fairly consittent and has been for the last 30 years in value all though up right now.. and you make money because tree's grow.. you get more of it over time.. and in the right growing areas you get a lot more of it quicker.. you can't say buy the same tract of timber in  Eastern slope areas they grow much slower so returns are not as big over time.. this is why I prefaced it with PAc north west timber.. specifically the coast range from Eureka to Vancouver BC

You can always pay extra on a 30 year loan and pay it off quicker if you wanted to, but you can't pay less on a 15 year loan if you can't cover the negative cash flow for a particular month. 

If you cannot get anywhere with your current agent then maybe shopping around on them will get them to move quicker for you.

I’m leaning towards flipping so I can build my cash quicker and essentially invest more and hopefully by next year I can hold a multi.

I was just saying 15k for one dwelling unit is nuts. an offshore architect is an architect not located in the United States. it means he can get to projects quicker, faster, more affordable, and higher quality than most architects in the United States. most architects want 10k for a set of drawings and I can get it done for 1/5 of that.

I know there are experts in these areas who can identify deals quicker than me because it is exactly what they are looking for. 

If you put a distressed property on the market looking for cash buying rehabbers, at the right price, they sell quicker than some wholesaler can.The last one I did like that.....house is bad condition, foreclosure pending, best offer they got from 1/2 dozen wholesalers, $112k.  

It will take you time to meet these requirements so a parallel path may be in order if your goal is to get there quicker.
