Here's hoping that this is the most volatility we'll see for the rest of the year, but something tells me all bets are off.

But again not predicting it but there is the thought process that ( and or good reason) that these are loans that once taken are good until you sell the property etc.. the bank is not going to advertise this fact. you need to read it in the docs and I bet most of the MLO's at the credit unions don't even know what the docs say.. :)

Given that the only ways to lose money in this industry are bad investments and lawsuits, I’m not willing to bet my portfolio that I’ll be in the lucky 10% of people who never have problems. 

Hi BP Peeps!I am currently looking to secure my first home for a fix and flip. After using the Fix and Flip calculator, the numbers on a property line up. I was wondering what are some resources for finding a contract...

Example if a lot sells for 500,000 at 4% that is only 20,000 for the work involved which is a lot.

Millennials are not going throw money away for rent @Russell Brazil  I bet Russ sells a bunch of them I would say 70% of my new homes I build are sold to millennials.. 

The best bet for housing interns and others over the short term is helping them find vetted rooms for rent in private homes or as part of a sublet.

I figured this would be a nice opportunity to get involved in real estate and by purchasing from a family member, I had time to learn and adapt.

Why not take a bet each way?

For instance, a 5 cap simply means that if you purchase an apartment building with no financing involved at all, the building will produce a 5% return after your operating expenses.
