Is 09 treating you well?

[Brandon Schlichter]

I've posted here only a few times this year due to the fact that I had taken on a new business venture at the start that has been wildly profitable.

Never the less, I've been curious how everyone has done concerning their investments and deals.

As an Agent, I've seen a significantly lower number of people who have been investing in real estate on my local level, which would be a good thing for those wanting to get in.

Have many of you seen a increase in trashy tenants? I'm hearing from a few people that they are running into a higher number of bad tenants as of recently, so I'm curious about those who do quite a few.

Also ,are you still using the 2% rule ,or do you do more than that? I've been running into a pretty significant number of properties that on paper are offering a pretty great return (I saw a 30k duplex the other day with about $1100/mo in potential incomes).

Your thoughts?
