They purchase properties, rehab, or build with the hope of increasing the value, and then find themselves holding onto these projects and renting them out when they can't find another suitable investment.

I'm Amauri from Orlando, FL, passionate about real estate investing for the last 10 years.

While many were clawing over the Smokies, Joshua Tree etc and saying that you should only invest in vacation destinations I was quietly investing in a midsize city and enjoy great occupancy 10.5-11 months of the year.

Did you invest with the Praxis group?

or more so new to flipping / investing?

A lot of the discussions here are going to be very much a North American application to investing since regulations and financing are somewhat similar for the US/CA, but likely different for Africa/Europe etc.

I've been the owner of a medium-sized business for the past 7 years. 40 years old now and I'm beginning to pivot and re-invest capital into real estate.

Why would they want to invest in you?

Not as in investing is like gambling (though it is, in many ways).

I would double my initial investment even after capital gains taxes.
