I was ridiculed at the RE clubs in 2006/2007 for buying silver at 10 dollars an ounce instead of real estate.

There are a couple apartment investors here on BP with a ridiculous amount of experience, and I know lots of people investing with them. 

That's a lot of work and a ridiculous amount of risk for $17K.So, in short, I'd say the business model is horrible, the numbers are horrible, the risk is extremely high, the amount of work is way disproportionate to the potential payoff and the fact that you seem to be trying to sell a system that you haven't used in 10+ years is the final indication that people should stay away.

I knew the city was slow but 18-24 months for is just ridiculous.

My own insurance provider was high and adding flood insurance was ridiculous.

This comparison is completely ridiculous. 

I can also say I offered a $5 Million umbrella, I even have her written response that I was being ridiculous, $1 Million and an LLC was fine.

So pulling cash out to purchase more property seems less likely going forward.So maybe over the last 10 years with these ridiculously low interest rates and ridiculously high appreciation it beat the s&p.

A duplex listed for 175 sold for 240 the other day that was just ridiculous!

There are so many ways to find people anymore it's ridiculous.
