Fix & Flip has too many components in it.

It is like an hour glass watching your money disappear and 30 years your broke if all goes according to plan and you don't retire when the market dips.However, the rental yield component is typically considerably higher and more stable than the dividend yield of equities so that total returns are of comparable magnitude.

Lenders are VERY protective of their funds and title is a major component of real estate.

If income grows faster than rent then the home appreciation can still accelarate rapidly especially when city inventory is reducing....Also the very basic component of home appreciation is money being circulated and not primarily the income in that area.

I was just into about my 20th new build in a 90 home project when this happened to us.. lumber packages did not quite 3X but they certianly went up 2X along with a host of other components.. the one benefit we had was we could have lumber escalation clauses in our contracts that passed this on to the buyer..

In taking it apart, it appears that it was brought in, in component parts and assembled on site. 

The strategy I am deploying of mention here has components of: - Market Appreciation, Forced Appreciation and Rent Appreciation. 

You list out all components.

Even without this cultural component, many intelligent and head strong off spring do take that baton and turn it into something incredible.

I will try my best to schedule something before drywall goes in so you can see all the components of the build before it gets covered up.
