Apparently, the ginseng root yields high profits.

It's made out of wire inside a small diameter pvc pipe inside a larger diameter pvc pipe.

However, the further outside of Boston you look there are more favorable numbers.I bought mine a little over 2 years ago in Quincy and live very cheap in a nice two family home while occupying the larger of the two units.

We’re trying to figure out how to avoid the short term gain tax implication of the sale since were in the highest bracket and that will basically eat into all of our profit.

Also strongly suggest making a stop in the Telluride area if you've never been.In terms of property, you'll find an endless supply of small farm towns in that whole corner of the state you could use as a base - for the actual investing, there's not that many larger markets - Grand Junction, Durango, the I-70 corridor.

FYI, they inflate the costs on the warranties as well, depends on the year, make & model of the car but each one has a different base cost and I could charge whatever I got away with and the dealership profited the difference.

I've found that larger (80-units or more) apartment deals that come from wholesalers are usually a waste of time - mainly because the financials (like T12s, Rent Rolls, etc) are incomplete.

I wish my thoughts were as profitable as @Jay Hinrichs!

Charlotte is a big city, rent to price ratios are generally less lucrative in cities and moreso in rural areas.The profitability rules for real estate don't work everywhere.
