Here’s hoping for another “economic winter” in the Northeast this year. I love snow, especially when it keeps property markets dead and people sitting at home rather than looking for houses.
My rate of return is > 20% for the year. But I’d rather have steady, predictable returns from renting foreclosed property than returns I have to actually work for and stress about. Even if they’re lower. I enjoy fixing up houses and working with my hands more than brain work — it’s more like fun than work.
