True investors culd teach you & vise versa. Speculators are Brain cell suckers. & You do not have the time. Spring market will bloom early this year , if it has not already started in some areas. Great Post ALLAN! .
If the government feels they should help, why don't all of the senators and such that are sitting on large pensions and have different health care than we do, put their own money up? They don't even pay their own taxes correctly!
How can we fix things if the mice are in charge of the cheese?
I am not trying to be bipatison here either, this should go for all parties and our highest elected official.
Also I have listed some great renovations and overkills that were done by speculators, and unfortunately for them most of those speculators were the average hard working folks who saw an infomarcial of how to make money in real estate, or the ones who joined an investor's club run by a scam artist who was just trying to assign contracts and make a lot of money, but who never taught them the ins and outs of real estate investing. I know most of those good folks had the best intentions to make money not to harm anyone.
I know a lot of good investors who are making a lot of money in this market, they are buying cheap, and they are doing good renovations, good products, and they are selling below market value to first time buyers, giving them closing cost help, where they are making their profit is at the time of the purchase and in the renovation.
I help them with the numbers, current value, after repaired values and they try to purchase 15 to 20 percent below value and sell 10% less than the market value, but the renovation cost have to be right. believe me they wont do an investment if they are not sure they will get at least 20% ROI. And the best thing about it is that the product is good, they don't cut corners or just cover defects, they do good renovations.
