U dont get the reality of it till it hits you..

Im almost done with the course but havent started working on it yet, will let u guys know but if someone already started, mention how it went

Currently the lot is too small within the current U-TU-B zoning.

kept using people who don't do real estate to do my taxes, and also they had horrible communication skills, I don't trust people who only see u as money.

Quote from @Tanner Pile: Quote from @Rob U.: I’m considering a flip on a land lease.

U have to shop for the deal and compete or deal with wholesalers thats no fun.. you have to make quick discussions etc etc.. with a nice renovated prop you get to buy it have your home inspection and understand what your buying... 

U need to talk to a local that does septic systems  just like a good well driller they will know the areas generally that are a problem..

U have to find developments that are purpose built for investors..

In addition, my account has u synced from Bigger Pockets several times causing RentRedi to charge extra fees that were originally explained as cost free.  

It seems like I need to check further away from the DMV area.My feelings are if you want “cash flow” you should buy a bond (I really like the tips rate right now) there is next to no reason to buy real estate for cash flow, if you are going to buy you should buy with appreciation in mind, which is not to say that’s the route I’d go, I’ve been liquidating properties to put in stocks and money market funds over the last few years and u just did the math and I’ve come out well ahead, but just to say there are arguments for stocks/bonds, there are arguments for levered appreciation, but the cap rates pretty much anywhere aren’t worth it vs an inflation protected bond, especially since a 3/rd of inflation is real estate anywhere, you could get “cash flow” and inflation protection much easier through a tips.
