Regarding rehab going over projected costs: The amount put at risk is only a portion of my available funds.

Seems highly risky to me.

Basing price on asking prices seems awful risky.

If there isn't any money to be or the risk is just to high then the deal just doesn't make sense.

Construction loans are risky, you certainly don't want to extend risks or time on the hook.

Though you can trade on margin, it is risky and expensive and even still doesn't offer nearly the same level or leverage that can be created with a 3.5% down payment mortgage.Cash Flow: Cash flow is a lot more predictable in real estate than the stock mkt Mkt Efficiency: The stock mkt tends to be more efficient making it harder to find profitable outlier stocks than it would be to find outlier real estate since as someone eluded to earlier you have so many people in the stock mkt all looking at the same thing the mkt tends to be efficient.Misconception: Stocks are just paper investments and aren't tangible.

BW12 will only apply to anybody buying pre-FIRM homes after june 2012. anybody that has active policy on a pre-Firm home and don't let coverage lapse it won't matter until they go to sell..case study we looked at.. joe blow had a pre-FIRM home for 20 years, paid 1230.00 a year, sold to john doe, johns policy needs a elevation cert, finds out house is -4 BFE. his policy is now 11400.00 a year. his only option is to raise the house above BFE. once above BFE will drop back to 1230.00 a year.takes pre-Firm to post-FIRM basically and charges rates on full risk!i
