There was a house I recently made an offer on and was out bid by almost double.  

Another question I have is about double wide in parks, can you buy them and rent them or are they are they really not worth the effort?

It is incredible to think of what kind of impact just double the amount of retirement funds being invested in alternative assets like RE would do to respective markets.

I put down 60 k worth of rehab plus a 12,500 safety net cash for a huge mess up during rehab and ARV is 416,000, the profits are in double digits based on my calculations approximately 35k including everything mentioned above.Also the experts out there do you feel I have enough of a safety net with these numbers? 

Renting a  place is concerning that you are dealing with fraud people who are not the real owners or are double booking etc.

Once we went hard on the dirt IE we closed it took 1 year to go vertical. one year to build out and sell all homes.So 2 mil just for the roads and no utils you can double that cost so you will be in the lots like we are about 40k just for utls if you pay 500k for the dirt.. thats a negligible cost so your all in on finished lots at 45k each... which is probably about right..

Reasons are - relatively stable economy and job growth, several Universities (Missouri State, Drury University, Ozarks Technical College, Evangel, etc.) in the local area and a major hub for surrounding suburbs/towns such as Ozark, Nixa, Republic, etc.If you favor cap rates, it is easy to hit low to mid double-digits on properties that seldom top $100K (yeah, BIG difference from Irvine/SoCal in general!!).  

Nationally and globally we are talking about multi billion dollars market with double digits growth.

I don't borrow any money unless I am sure I can make that first payment a double payment.
