You will find a total mixed bag here.

If it is not your cup of tea (because value adds are work), take the extracted $250k and put it in the index fund.  

They will at some point and you don't want to get caught holding the bag.

We still get the odd theft from time to time but it's easy keeping a finger on the pulse when we only do 3-4 rehabs per month or so.Just had one recently but couldn't tell you when it happened prior to that.It's just the nature of the beast and could happen anywhere.At least we don't get car windows smashed by junkies and bags stolen from cars in broad daylight like in San Fran haha

I believe in the long term success of the US economy more so than a specific company and it's bonds.Active investor for now and I predict the 30yr will come down quite a bit.But with a big enough bag, I'd take the 5% all day and go to sleep so to speak hehe

Carrying a bag of useless rocks will not help you when society collapses.

I love Gardening (Organic), I grow medicinal herbs and make teas, Beekeeping (we just started back after my husband lost his hives several years ago); Nature Photography, Antiquing and Flea Markets (Pre-Covid we were planning to drive around the country going to different flea markets and antique fairs in our vintage Airstream; but those plans are on hold), Tai-Chi (Love it!)

Just buy it from your buddy and bag the 2% minus expenses. - unless the $3000 is theoretical and only occurs after renovations, etc.

I might me letting the cat out of the bag but Huntsville, AL should be at the top of your list.Agree, typical huntsville 100k houses are in upper 200k now.Thanks to NASA and Space company in Huntsville,AL.
