Others (like myself) combine investment with hobby and strive for 15+% returns... still others turn this into a second (or first) job and are looking for 20+% returns.There is a definite trade off... but who are we to place value on other people's time?

All stocks are local.What kind of return would you expect from a stock that is trading at 27 times its past year's earnings and grows its earnings by 5% a year over the next 5 years?

Lot's of info is traded and given such as contractors and tradesmen.

However, I am a real estate broker by trade and I am very invested in seeing the neighborhood grow and develop.

Essentially it's saving you 5% interest when it could be earning you 15+% cash, a poor trade off.With cash, you need to either buy undervalued homes or increase equity in a way that more than compensates your investment.

Everything from here on is regulated to a sub-trade who will come in for a few days (Sometimes simultaneously) and do their thing.

You can hire subs who will pull each permit for their trade.

They're a trade group.

The trade-off there is that it is easier and takes less time to evict a tenant for not paying than to foreclose on a homeowner for default.

Not even institutional properties class A are trading for that except a 5.5 to 6 cap in urban core New York etc.Even with owner finance this property doesn't work.
