When I get to the point where I want to do real estate full time and leave my FT job, do any of you have contacts for real estate groups who buy health/life/dental insurance as a group and, thus, get their small business/personal insurances more cheaply than if they bought as individuals?

I didn't really get the details from them, they just said liquidating, so I don't know if that means selling or doing refi's to get the equity out of the properties.

Mike,While there is some logic to the cycles the details are not accurate for all markets all of the time.Some markets have downturns which really means prices stop going up but they do not really fall.There are markets where prices fall but the recovery is closer to 3 years rather than the 8-10 you are expecting in your cycles.To all:DYOR - Do Your Own Research for you market.

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Hence you will not find open membership forums like BP where the real details are discussed.John Corey

You also have to look at the details if you invest at distance compared to within driving distance.I started investing in CA.

:welcome: to BP.To invest successful means knowing a lot about the details.

I won't go into too much detail but if you care to read the following article about organized crime rings involving Vietnamese, and how they tear into homes to setup growing operations, installing air scrubbers and ventilation systems to pump out humidity associated with basement growing operations, the home I was looking at is one of these mentioned as among 100 in the Seattle area that were part of the ring.

Some tenants know the details so they will work you if you get it wrong.2.

If you are unsure about a property, find one and list the details for us to provide advice.
