Rental properties appeal the most to me, but I really like the capital-raising power of flips, so I am open to everything.

The benefit here is the capital growth if you buy in the right areas but that’s not guaranteed either Even as an Aussie, it’s the cashflow that I love about the US market!

Somehow I feel that sitting as equity is not the best use for the capital.

The fallout was inescapable: Nearly one in three homes went into foreclosure.Today, the community of North Las Vegas, encompassing the 89031 ZIP code, is the model of the recovery that has swept the nation.

My opinion is if you have the capital do #1.
