It's laughable, LAUGHABLE, to try and compare index funds too REI. 

Too many new investors try to build a team before they have any credibility and then wonder why realtors or contractors don't return their calls.

If "the problem is the price that the seller wants is quite high and comparable to on-market value" then why are you trying to lock it up on a wholesale contract?

My two cents: try to select a strategy that works best for your skill set, market, and risk tolerance.

Think about it - everyone else is trying to make money.

I have seen "noob's" have issues with, say, a 5br home and trying to get that payment standard from a 3br voucher holder.

We have a building that is about 5000 sq ft (4000 first floor, 1000 second floor), we are trying to figure out the most optimal thing to do with it.
