It has happened for hundreds of years, and will continue to happen, as long as there are boom and bust cycles.

I am currently in contract with a relatively new single family home that looks like might produce some cash flow or at least break even the first year according to the property calculator. 

I'm curious if there is a demand for smaller short term loans.

This is a recent post about another foreign investor in Jacksonville, you both might be able to share some knowledge and resources in terms of who to hire and work with!

These lists come up all the time with long term top of the market, etc etc and it changes every 6 months.

Purchase price: $300,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Sale price: $485,000 This was a fun one I got to do a few houses down from where I live.

As a lender, I look at rate sheets and loan estimates literally all day long and for the longest time when rates were stable or declining it made little to no sense to pay points. 

I had 3 different long term tenants in this unit over last 13 years, never had any issues.

Our inventory is so tight, that the market does not give a discount for condition and without that whats the point of a serveral months long rehab project if you don't create equity.

Rel estate investing is a long term game.
