ParticipantI do think you are very, very naive about these people that are having their homes foreclosed. I also think, based on your comments, that you are going to lose your 1 million and then have to figure out how to pay back 500,000 that you no longer have if you try this venture. Please figure something else to do with your money.

ParticipantThanks for the input Dougie. We’ve made many attempts to work the numbers to justify the rescue scenario, but it just doesn’t add up.
As for the second scenario on my post; upgrading and flipping for a modest return? Can we at least do better than the pathetic rates we were getting on my investments?
I appreciate your candor. My ego answers to my brain. I’m certainly willing to go back to our other investments with my tail between my legs. I’d rather do that with my money intact than to have some really good war story. But I can’t help but feel that there is opportunity in this market, particularly for people like us who aren’t greedy.

ParticipantIt can be done but there is alot of competition. If you are simply looking for better returns you can do that by picking up inexpensive properties and renting them out. Its possible to buy properties around $100K that you can rent out for $1000/month. I beleive these low end properties have the best potential to reap appreciation down the line also. I think a 15% average annual return over the next 5 years between cash flow and appreciaton is not unreasonable with potentially more upside.
