I also don’t think that people with steady jobs are going to want upgrade their “pads” just because they can now swing it.  

I wouldn’t have to hire staff and would just play golf all day.

And try to buy in places that have massive swings (like FL, NV, AZ, and CA).

@Brandon AlexanderHire a small property management company or fly there one time and interview handyman and use 2 or 3 to swing by and be your eyes when you need.. of course pay them $30 or $40 per visit

Not a great time for Alberta right now. when I had my home in Kelowna  Alberta was rockin.. lots of golfers would come over from Edmonton to play at our club I had a golf course front home and I could always tell those guys.. 

Swing a big hammer with a big deposit, if doing it -he will have the cash.

Combining those two things results in massive swings in potential quote pricing.

With these two motivations, if they trust you, you will likely be able to swing something along these lines (and why the property is not more valuable, it's the deal, not the property)To play on thisas a buyer you need to have a good idea as to what the seller really needs, what will work to solve his problems.

but if you can get in the game in the Bay Area and if your like those that all chim in on BP I am buy and hold for ever... where do you want to do that.. in a market with history is no movement or in a market with a history of wild upward swings over time.
