The Rate of Appreciation may differ than the last 20 years, but there are factors that may cause Rental and Appreciation Rates to move even higher as the Bond Markets are indicating right now.Maybe those of us who use a comprehensive IRR calculation should just NOT try so hard to correct an inaccuracy so we can continue to buy great Rental and Appreciating investments that are being ignored by the vast amount of Cashflow NOW Investors as this eliminates our competition and increases the competition for those Cashflow Centric Investors.I also wanted to point out that during the Financial Crisis, a LOT of Dividend paying stocks reduced their Dividends, DRAMATICALLY.

If you chose to ignore the registered mail request, it would get sent back to the tenant as non-deliverable.

It used to bother me but I've learned to ignore it.

I recognize this is probably a very complex question and my ignorance is trying to simplify it.

Collect rent, grow your business, ignore the missing applications, and if they stop paying rent- you know what to do!

And just ignore the credit score aspect as well? 

Ignorance as they say is no excuse in this business.
