Hello All, I'm new to BP, I bought all of the BP books and it is widely recommended there that if you are unsure about a deal to ask the experts here. :) Deal details:3/1 house on 5 acres of land, Jacksonville, FL 322...

Best case a personal home is no more than forced savings.

Don’t know if the laws allow you to force a sale once you are a part owner.

On most all of my deals I essentially force my out of state buyers to get an inspection whether they originally intended to or not.

For example, a double pane window with a small crack on one side may be something a regular tenant might not even notice, but your Section 8 agency might force you to repair.I try not to buy in markets where Section 8 is the only way you find a qualified tenant. 

How does one "force appreciation" with stocks?

Due to a divorce, I was forced to take out a 401k loan in order to pay off 2 HELOCs totaling $30k that had been used for apartment renovations.

I know I've seen a few ad-hoc stories about for example rents increasing through crashes as people are forced to downsize, but I'm not sure I've come across a solid data source that would show this type of thing.Especially if you could drill down into specific markets.

When the market is dead, don't try to force it. 

Don't know if buying anything right now is the best game plan, but the interest rates are a driving force for me right now.
