.- As for crypto, it's just a speculatory investment for those who like to gamble. 

It was a lot of back and forth, I had to call them like 6:00 am my time because their in UK 

We do NOT have the same crazy system on mortgage-backed securities we had in 08/09, or to be more accurate the Jenga stack of gambles is not built in a way as it was. 

Subject to a temporary financial issue, which would be gambling, it is at a ceiling for value growth.B.  

My name is Justin.I have worked in the property industry in the UK for a number of years, in Property Management and Sales of Rent 2 Rent holiday villas around the Mediterranean, as an Estate Agent and Deal Sourcer and now in Conveyancing.Over these years I have helped many home buyers and investors on their property journey but now in 2024 my focus has shifted to how I can transition into a real estate investor in my own right, and build my own property portfolio.I have been a big Bigger Pockets podcast listener for a number of years and I have found it to be a massive motivation tool in my working life but I am super excited to now lean on all the amazing resource as I commence my own investment journey.I am originally from Australia and have spent the last 13 years living in London, UK.

I had a few appraisals come back from Akron/Clv markets and had the appraiser comment that it is a "down market".If you are targeting the 50k purchases with the 20k rehab and then hopping to refi out afterward you are taking a gamble because if you do not get the 100k value after the rehab you can get stuck in the project or be forced to take a mortgage with a terrible rate.Keep your purchases 80k and up and try to make sure your project costs are over 100k on everything so you can be pretty confident that you'll get the 100k value afterward.

But it's okay, because if his gambling winnings aren't sufficient to pay the rent his family will give him money.
