You get very high (not highest) returns with an extremely small time component that allow you to focus on keeping the rest of your portfolio active and working hard.

If I had the option of taking 25K and purchasing an additional property on the same block.while I wait for other money to be returned on some notes I have I would then put my tenant into the new property and rehab the fire damaged one on a less stressful time table.Its still a huge buyers market in Dayton and I expect that it will not change over the next twelve months.
