Perry Chase If you are still checking this thread…excuse me for being nosey..But.
I have been reading this blog for more than a year.You make lots of comments like this…..Referring to timelines…
I have a long horizon (7 to 10 years from today before I buy anything) and I’m having fun watching the market…
You also talk about being willing to buy fixer’s. Do you intend to actually break a sweat or have someone else do the work? In any case I have seen guy’s who can spot opportunity and make sacrifices, myself to a degree included, get ahead of the curve a bit. I know its still practically out of the question now …but I have learned not to make a rigid plans with Real Estate. My worst mistake,for example, was to say “I won’t ever buy anything that would not rent positive.” you know where that got me. Don’t shoot yourself in the foot is what I am saying. You seem like a real smart guy. It helps me that I am a General Contractor, Draftsman, with a Real estate license,not paying third parties(or letting them waste my time)is a huge part of it for me.However, believe me I just picked those things up along the way as tools. I have a friend who has none of those things, a very balanced portfolio, (unlike yours truly) and he is almost always doing something right with real estate in small ways.With exception of his long term rentals and his family home he is on the sidelines now but he keeps the ideas flowing.
