Great insights. Thank you for sharing. I agree with you as well and appreciate the clarity of your thoughts. Regarding #3 and what problem they are trying to solve, I'm not sure.

What do you all know about PropertyGRID? https://propertygrid.com/

Someone told me about it and it uses blockchain technology and tokenization of ownership with the purported goal of enhancing the real estate transaction and opening up global markets. Sorry, I am not a marketer for them. I just watched their video. Who on BP has any insight into them or something similar? 

Cheers,

Bill

@Andrew Monaghan , I would echo what @Bob Okenwa said. The East Valley and beyond is booming.

@Kentrell Billups - Check out PHX REIA - it is largely wholesalers, but there are flippers there. They don't try to sell you products, and some big names are there.

@Joe Splitrock - while the odds are low, I agree we need to be ready on these things. What a terrible story - we are definitely in a human business where stakes (people’s shelter) are deeply ingrained in ours and our tenants’ basic human need.

I have been in education for years and I wonder how translatable the active shooter training we do is relevant to office spaces. We had one training where the local PD used our campus and our staff to practice and train their officers. We were in the training in various places in the building and it allowed the officers to search our building, know it’s floor plan, in case anything happened. We were able to experience some of the intensity of the situation (they shot blanks in the building). I imagine that could be used in an office setting. We followed up with a presentation from the PD on best practices. Basically it’s run, if you can’t then hide, if you can’t then fight. Run, hide, fight.

@Jennifer Rysdam - I am speechless - really don't know what to say - I wish I could apologize for all the terrible men like that, and for that particular a$$hole - my heart hurts for you - thank you for sharing and being vulnerable - that takes a great amount of courage, and I am grateful you're still in the business - sorry, this rambling is taking me a long time to type - I am struggling to find what to say - we need more honor in the world

@Wesley W. - Great advice on getting a process server - $75 is a great price for some security - 

- Send it certified mail - Keep everything in writing too - Great point.

Thank you!

@Charlie MacPherson - Thanks for the tips -

- Situational awareness

- Conceal carry - or pepper spray at minimum

- Stay on your toes - especially female agents

- Don't go it alone

- Let your office know your whereabouts and time-frame

@Irina Belkofer - you bring up a good point about the previous criminal records - it is important to screen tenants and know who is renting the property.

So sad - I can't imagine what the kids are going through, and his poor wife.

@Ned Carey that is a good point. I guess the article did not give all the details.
