Yes you have a possibility of continuing to gain through appreciation but investors are not going to give you advice regarding parking cash since it flies in the face of logic in regards to investing.  

There is nothing that makes sense to start in my area, the numbers are not working or barely logical to make the plunge.

@Casey Mericle that's definitely the logical conclusion when analysing the properties for cash flow.

But go ahead and just post your account number for all of us here to see since by your logic, it's on the bottom of your check anyways so why does it matter....But what do I know, it's not like I'm a self made millionaire or anything.... ;-)Oh, and by the way, the oldest man alive had hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen out of his account because they had his bank account number and were able to use it to buy assets.

For an investment property I can get 5.125% on 30 years with 25% down on a $400k investment property like a triplex or 4-plex.Should I pass on the primary residence and invest logically? 

Legal issues aside it's the only logical way to make money transacting real estate sales as an intermediary. 

It sounds like finding a local real estate group would be the next logical step.

I certainly could be wrong, but this just doesn't sound logical to me. 

I just don't see the logic in this strategy, can anyone elaborate?

A few months ago the scales fell off of my eyes and I realized a logical step would be to get into real estate.
