I host a free virtual one every Wednesday (that is not new years day) and would be happy to send invite if you like. 

The rent control in some cases is really unfair to the landlord as the percentage increases are virtually irrelevant when the rent is a small amount.

So, if you have 10 units and you are going to pay $1,500 a month and you are working on an active income job, too, this is an easy switch due to the labor mentally and physically (even if it is just phone calls) to get these rentals running as a well-oiled machine.  

I once bought a house that was so terrible of cat piss that you virtually couldn't go in without a respirator and I thought I'd have to tear out the subfloors to fix.

Virtual staging would help, pictures of the parking lot would help as well.

I’ve been a real estate broker since 2009, working with virtually every type of buyer and seller.

In fact i will speculate the opposite as i believe virtually any investor who has held investment RE since the great recession highly values appreciation.

Also can I attend this monthly meeting virtually?

Some do virtual things some are more on site. 

.: Why i do not like 1% rule- In virtually every market, the highest rent to value ratio is in the lower class area.
