Three Areas of Opportunity for the Bold

You need to put some more thought into your real estate deal.

Your rate on an investment property will be much higher than 6%, unless you buy it down with points.

If you take out a loan your lender will require that you have a hazard insurance policy. The cost of your policy will be significant, especially if the insurer gets wind that you plan to rent it as a "horse property". You need to build insurance costs into your monthly outflow.

Banks don't just drop their pants on short sales. If you offer them 20% less than their asking price you'd better have some quality time scheduled with the individual handling their portfolio, or the only sound you'll hear from them will be silence.

I could go on. You really need to do a few of these deals before you present yourself as an authority on Seeking Alpha.
