If I were the tenant it would feel like I'm possibly being exploited or the landlord is petty and cheap which could be the tip of the iceburg.

There are lots of options for early-stage investors, even in the Seattle market- the key is to figure out what your competitive advantage is and exploit it.

The post tries to exploit FOMO.  

Just as rents have risen so do home prices as the demand outstrips the supply of available new and existing homes.So, the "bubble" concept was and is pure fiction.Pre-crash, "the pendulum swung" full to one side: reckless and predatory lending (the banksters even admit as much) artificially inflated the demand causing prices to rise in response.Now - post-crash - "the pendulum" "swings" toward the other extreme: supply outstrips actual demand causing prices to rise in response ... only this time, the banksters did not cause it and are rather more challenged to exploit the phenomenon because of the new banking and lending guidelines and regulations.David J Dachtera

As you know The Mexican state grants a mining concession (a permit to explore and exploit minerals in the subsoil) so I have 3 gold mines in store but no idea how to sell it, any ideas?...

Real estate is fantastic in that the average person can exploit the arbitrage.  

It will both surprise you how errors occur at the price of speedy service and give you hope when you see opportunities that others are blind to exploit.

I don't intend to be governed in life by my fears nor my childish desires to be percieved as a "player" by putting into place some Rube Goldberg configured apparatus of legal entities, trusts and special agreements.Of course some degree of asset governance planning will always be prudent, but don't be swayed by those asset protection plan peddlers that do little more than exploit people's fear and vanity propensities to make a quick buck.for me the only litigation has been partnership disputes..

That just goes to show that no matter how nice and kind you are, there will be someone out there somewhere who wants to exploit that kindness.

I've been wanting to wholesale my own deals (not a true wholesale as I'm not assigning the contract right away but I do have an exit strategy), but have also been worried about being an agent and vulnerable if someone claims I exploited them.
