The bottom line is that is VERY difficult to invest in properties you intend to buy and hold with no cash.Further, its extremely dangerous.

If agents consistently sell the assets below the 85%, they are in danger of losing those accounts.

Now, when you're driving a car, you're just as dangerous, if not more, than your business, so carry plenty of insurance.

There is a real danger we will see another down turn in real estate in this country.

I use keyword alerts for "military"...works for me but yea a military forum might be good but might set a dangerous precedent and where do the admin draw a line on who does/doesn't get a forum?

Moving up the money ladder to these high priced properties brings with it some potential dangers and risks and in addition, requires a very experienced investor with a highly qualified team to pull off a profit worth the risks.For most experienced investors, flipping a $400k house is pretty basic and does not take a whole lot of design experience.

In CA a value explosion is 50 to 200k...and remember in your market if a house explodes 5 to 10k that really does not mean anyting as sales cost will eat that up so in reality you just break even

Now, that seems to be fading with the explosion of Southern Orchards, Vassor Village, etc to the East.For my all-in budget constraints, I'd most likely have to stay below Weber, in that gray area between north and south Linden.

Brooklyn in Crown Heights, Brownsville, ENY Brownsville and ENY are super dangerous still... wouldn't risk it...

For example no dangerous breeds greater than 30 lbs.
