I know we hit some grand slams buying the notes from the thrift as they did not want to bring the asset on their books at that time.

Although, who knows, Aberdeen is now rated as some wonderful , fast-growing retirement town for Seattle burn outsits a familial property.. was owned by my wifes grand parents my wife is 4th generation from Puget Island..

One geographic challenge is the Rio Grande River right through the middle of the area.

First, they’re only going to make a couple grand on the deal and second, it is YOUR job to run numbers and do your due dilligence.

If you're someone who can save a significant amount, like 50 grand or even 20 grand a year, buying a house might not be the best move for you.

Keep in mind a license is not free and requires a couple grand in fees. 

If you're earning less than a hundred grand a year or your net worth is below a quarter mil, then doing it yourself might make sense.

So many choices to consider from short-term offering higher reward for higher input (think of it like buying a business), BRRRR, etc.I'd have to say the resounding idea to keep in mind is not to be so focused on One-ism, that one deal will be a mega-hit, or as @davidgreene24 would say a grand slam.

While on paper it costs you $, in grand scheme of things the time and cost of not having one will wear on you.

I mean a flight hotel and T&E will be a couple grand.
