We should see an increase in deal availability, making it harder to unload the less desirable properties. 

Again, unless you know someone who wants to unload real estate at a fraction of its worth, you're going to need to get money to get boots on the ground.Frankly, I started as a landlord because I wanted to.

Originally posted by @Pavel Reyes Valdes:Seller is financing the deal.Well, just be prepared to do the same to unload the property at some point...as others mentioned, you'll be looking at selling in the $5-$15K range or selling on terms if/when you decide to unload it.  

it was a wives tale though that they would take the logs out into the ocean and reman them and sell it right back to us.. the logs went to Japan and stayed there.but it was the HBU for those logs to the private owners.. that's why our stud lumber is so knotty LOL.. we got the left overs. 

Gold, oil, concrete, lumber, etc, wil cost more dollars since its value stays the same.

A contractor recently told me lumber has gone up 30% because of covid (this seems really high, but maybe this is accurate ???).

Lumber-  Canada.  

Articles about getting 60% returns on your money are why so many investors find themselves desperate to unload their "money pits" despite their 30% down payment.I think Warren Buffett might know what he's talking when he says that just a generic index fund, purchased over time, is the best way for most people to get rich - and that even for billions, his trustees will be instructed to follow that strategy after his death.

Wholesale lumber prices right now are the lowest they have been in 7 months but they could skyrocket and double again at any time.

Lumber is selling at higher prices.
