You have to analyze time and return for your individual situation and see what works.

Sure, it could transform an area and due to cost push low-income people out but I don't think that is very likely.There has been a lot of steam on this, it can work well in certain situations (been sitting on heavily appreciated stocks and want to diversify into RE) but these are primarily low-income areas and the holding periods are long. 

I'm in the same situation as you.

Hopefully there are folks here who've been in the same situation who could provide some guidance in which direction is best.Thanks!

That said, this strategy may only work out in certain situations but keep your eye open because it may appear and if u did ur research right, u should capitalize on the opportunity.

If you think that you might be in this situation again, it might help to look for a lender who can actually pay cash at the auctions on your behalf.

I essentially pay myself for my own time.Capital gains from flips.Any suggestions on the situation would be helpful.

ok so - i'm a newbie and i only have one other post.here's a hypothetical - it may or may not match my situation... i just wanted to start a fun topic and get some ideas generated.say you have 100k cash in your pocket - right now.what is the first thing you would do if you wanted to invest in rental property(ies)?

Hi everyone, I’m looking to see what I can do to resolve a situation I’m in with a service provider I hired to do some work at one of my rental properties.

Agreed, if they did have that money sitting around 9 of 10 times they would not want to give to the lender they would prefer to keep it based on their difficult financial situation.
