We always have a seasonal slowdown in the late fall and into the holidays but Feb through September are usually great for sales and appreciation.

Are you a local "seasoned" investor willing to chat with a newbie? 

Also, there's lots of friction in the development process, and my example is simple by design (this is why I recommend working in joint venture with a seasoned developer or development consultant).

However, I also invested in bitcoin many years ago at $20, and Ethereum a couple years ago at $10 and believe in crypto currencies.

The question with these developemnts is always if they are sustainable or if its just a seasonal thing and will get wiped out with the next (economic) winter.My personal take on the inner city (and I am not an expert there) is that it is more of a culture and value issue than a money issue.

Delayed financing is possible before a 12 or even 6 month seasoning but you are limited to the lesser of the purchase price (plus closing costs on the buy) or 75% of the appraised value (less closing fees for the refi).

About me - My husband and I personally rehabbed a 4 bedroom home on Cape Cod 2.5 years ago and currently pull in $3,100 per week in Summer, and $300-400 per night in off season.

Justin if you look at ABB availability during football season you will also see activity in the Churchill downs area.

Usually the more doors per apartment building and/or the more money you put down, the more cash flow per door.You could also look into buying businesses (owning them, not running them), good old fashioned stock market investing (not retirement accounts, im talking brokerage accounts so you can actually use the moeny before retirement age) , cryptocurrency investing, or a mixture of all of them.
