and now I am going to sell Pdx and I have already bought vegas for 1/4 of what PDX is worth so massive equity in PDX of which 500k will be tax free when I move.. these are all over occ has nothing to do with business.. and its just my personal journey others will be different of course.so your right if your only moving to more expensive homes your still burning all the cash.. but for those that may do the flight from CA you take 500k tax free with you  :)  Or builders as we were discussing.. they pocket the tax free then use minimum down to buy the next project..

Moved down here after burning out on foreclosures and crappy fees. there is no shortage of Growth opportunities here as long as people keep moving in, its just a matter of correctly forecasting where they are going. thankfully, you don't have to be the first, you just don't want to be the last.

I turn on all of the lights prior to showing and burn a fragrant candle.

I also learned about some of the risks that aren't often talked about. 1 of the 3 burned down and I walked away from my lien on that one.

idk, but maybe you missed the part about burning bridges by dragging contractors out to a job that doesn't yet exist.

If you walk in and the room smells of newly burned incense, it can be a sign that you are on the right track. 

Everyone has cash, everyone can close quick, so you'll need to stand out in a different way.I was managing a project for a client with a half-burned-down house about a year ago.

I think it is very risky to invest most of the money into the property and then getting burn and loose it if you have a few financially bad/terrible months.I want to thank you very much for raising very important points and keeping me in check on those.

I've got burned in the past buying some books that ended up being mostly hype.

For that reason, there is not a lot of competition for Alabama tax sale properties, because people get burned, get scared, and exit the market.
