My short term goals are to make money via Speculation and my 5 year long term goal is to have many rental properties for steady income for my parents and siblings, my original approach was to start off with SFHs, recycle the profits to buy additional SFHs to fund the rental investments later down the road.

In the nutshell, I am getting lots of leads that I don't use, so I am looking for ways to recycle them.

The Country needs people like us to re-cycle the real estate.

I actually like the recycled chopstick idea and was bummed when nobody made an offer.Too bad about the guitar guy.

I recall seeing a graph of the RE cycles of the last 60 years or so and iirc all downturns began after the market had recovered and exceeded previous highs.

Owned my mortgage company and capital company around 25 years.Give me a reason to count the dollar volume pushed across my desk over the years, you do realize that such amounts are from the same dollar recycled over and over. 

So, they effectively ignored the anti-flipping waiver, and continued to require sellers to be on title for 90 days, sometimes not even allowing a CONTRACT to be written until the 91st day.Sadly, this social awareness of the necessity of investors in the marketplace, and their benefit as a force to help recycle old dilapidated real estate into good, quality, affordable housing has disappeared from the minds of the powers that be at FHA.

My plan is to just use it and then as I get my cash flows instead of holding them in a bank, just put it into the heloc so it gets paid back quickly and that cash is still available to reuse during the next 10 years to keep recycling it. 

I did forget about people recycling equity but a lot of those people are also using it to pay bills, move elsewhere or just staying put.

I just got back from taking the scrap metal to the recycling place for a whopping $28.50.
