He also, has in the past purchased plenty drugs, at one instance, buying "$140" worth of drugs...one phone call away, a vehicle comes along quickly, with the dealer in a black hoody and pineapple print (at the time) and swiftly make the exchange.

Conversely, if they just want something that prints money and will accept a lower return, then stabilized deals may start to make more sense. 

I don't have the capital to be a cash buyer unless I took money out against my primary residence which I would prefer not to do.Really trying to figure out where I am missing the boat, so I appreciate any feedback.1. every city has its own hidden default cap rate every year2. as new money being printed, home price going up3. the more it's going up, the harder it is for a new investor or first-time home buyer to catch up with price.4. cap rate could only decrease every year, it may increase only by 0.5%which means5. if your city cap rate is below a certain value,best stratey is for a flat cash flow and waiting for more appreciationor6. focus on flip/distressed propertyif you want better cash flow you may want to visit the midwest city.

.* The number of primary residence homeowners will practically flip from the 65% it is today in the other direction in the next 20 years, creating a nation of renters and further consolidation of owners — leading to a larger pool of renters looking for a myriad of rental options.MY APPROACH: target markets & sub markets that have strong macro fundamentals (pleasant to live, lower taxes, landlord friendly, strong industry) and assume that the ~$600k house today will be $1.5m+ in 30 years because there will always be a new norm when there is a combination of inflation, low supply, and the gov’t printing money/debasing currency.If a property can cover its costs today and I plan to long term hold then I’ll let rent growth, appreciation, and time do its thing.

Basically the theme be different, be bold, use color, quality goods, stay on budget. 

My time was spend printing and mailing check after check.
