Why
sit on the sidelines waiting for the exact bottom of the market? Why not
participate in smaller carefully selected projects with smaller amounts of money
now while waiting for the market to come back to live. Keep your skills sharp,
keep your money working for you, stay inside the market. This program was
designed for small investors who want to spread their risk among several
carefully selected projects. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, manage the
risk with more projects and smaller incrimental investments.

Typical project summary:
A purchase of a property in Vista from a bank with a cracked slab. The
purchase price was negotiated down due to a fast "as is" sale. Neighborhood
is a middle class neighborhood with established values, relatively fast turn
around of finished properties and relatively easy FHA, VA or conventional
financing due to value of home falling well into affordable confroming loan
limits. Alternatively, homes in the area rent well due to larger families of
Hispanic renters, typical 3 bedroom home renting in excess of $2,000 per
month.
