An ugly term that we haven't seen in decades, but it's like the boogie man, if you say his name enough times, he'll show up... all this leads to my view on my investment thesis and 2 prone-approach: 1. assuming you've been discipline and waiting for the right opportunity to strike, you've build a formidable cash position, when the equity market retreat to a reasonable level (i.e.

. $6Trillion in bailouts, heading to 40% unemployment etc.I want to hit some strike prices and maybe some options but have not been able to see the forest through the trees.

Its better to hit the ball and get on base than to strike out waiting for a perfect pitch, glad to hear you've had success so far!

This puts my range at $144-$330k.I have also looked at the FHA 203(K) as an option and I haven't found something that would cashflow after dumping 110% of its value back into it.I might look into striking a deal with a builder as you mentioned.

Most fights last under 20 seconds and contrary to the movies one to two properly placed strikes can take someone out unless they are hyped up on drugs or other stimulants.

That's a pretty dire situation as an economy we are currently in with no relief in sight.I'd sell as a lease/option to someone who can’t get bank financing (such as a successful business owner), getting 20% down and basing the strike price as a 20% premium for 2 or 3 years down the road, charging a reasonable interest rate to get cash flow.

But while it is statistically rare for lightning to strike, it strikes the earth every day.   

That strikes me as very unfair.

So the pool is shrinking as BP provides the leads to the original poolWith that said, the actual mechanism of BP's paid program I am sure it could be better but your strike rate is just going to get even more minute.
