Market fundamentals play a huge role in long-term success, and oftentimes even with short-term success. 

I'm committed working hard and playing hard.

I guess it would be a pure speculation play.  

There are things like master metered power/gas if you have it, certain types of sewer lines, bad roads etc. that could end up being expensive.

My two other partners  NO way to the tenth power would they ever give a home they owned to someone else to list  LOL...

The mark of any good con is to play on someone's emotions (whether they be positive or negative) In this case the joy and excitement that you are felling may potentially be a bad tenants open door to their next landlord victim.  

Tell Lars that Chris Mason sent you.http://larsghanssoncpa.com/ When his office and mine get conspiratorial with the goal of boosing purchasing power of a self employed person a tax filing or two out because someone's purchasing power is artificially constrained by stupid mortgage guidelines, amazing things happen.

KW not allowing it and just a convenient way for them to play the heavy while still letting your realtor look like the good guy.  

Our thought is that by buying rental properties, and improving our portfolio we will have a lot better borrowing power.

So play the numbers game and keep going until you find someone that needs your help to get rid of their property.
