Worcester is probably up 10% in the last 6 weeks as people are pulling $ out of the stock market to take advantage of the low interest rates and high worcester rents.

Eventually, you'll be wanting to be hands-off, so the ability to weed out the bad apples in the bunch and maintaining the relationships of the great ones is a crucial skill to have.Good luck!

My husband disliked it so much that we actually sold all but one of our buy and holds after a few years, and he refused to do another flip, even though we did make a profit on our only one, said he could make more in the stock market without the effort, but he agreed to let me handle the remaining one without him getting involved as I just wasn't selling it. 

The stock market is in a wildly irrational place at this time.

@Jonathan SantiagoFederal IRS determines "flipping" to be an active "dealer" where you are selling inventory (like any other sales activity) as opposed to a passive "investor" selling an investment property (like selling stock). 

Purchase price: $1,790,000 Cash invested: $880,000 Built as a condominium conversion project by the owner in 1990, this immaculately maintained 10-unit apartment property is truly a rare find in the apartment market today.

In fact, series insulation is preserved only so long as “records maintained for that particular series account for the assets associated with that series separated from the other assets of the company or any other series.”

I realize there are risks in real estate but I feel much more comfortable owning cash flowing real estate then the stock market. 

You get an appraisal and refi with your bank on the hard money note, or cash out refi where you have enough equity to do this and still maintain 25% equity.

@Carolina Brembilla it can go either way the thing to keep in mind is that SoCal will have older housing stock than AZ for the most part, there aren't too many paint carpet, and you're done type flips.
