Quote from @Terry Hollinsworth: Do you understand the dangers of doing business with someone that shows up at your door uninvited?

This is life coach territory.

Inflation is more dangerous, because it squeezes household budgets silently until they break down under the debt load, but even then food and shelter remain the core.

Taking advice from people that live in a different district is useless at best, dangerous at worst. 

I love where you heart is on this one, but as you can see from the posts above, this is a dangerous deal.

Turns out the yard has a lot of broken glass (big and small pieces) and other dangerous small bits of garbage in the soil.

The future of Real Estate investing is in danger, and it's going to take a lot of creativity and unity to thrive over the next decade. 

The house I live in is very old, built in 1931, in the redwoods and close to the San Andreas Fault and in a high fire danger zone, BUT has been a fantastic rental as well as my residence at different times.  

Cash is dangerous and leads to misunderstandings.

You say no problem, I have rehab funds and you try and take out that 62,500 that the contractor wants and then you are denied and told rehab funds are for completed work only and you will need to front that money to get started and wait to be paid back at the end in like 4 - 6 months when the last draw is taken.To get involved in a short term bridge loan without being liquid 100k at the minimum is very dangerous and risky.
