However, before doing anything I take my time to gather information, think outside the box, connect with people who have done the very thing that other people say is impossible, stay patient, see whether there are any unique solutions I can bring, and only then decide what to do.Thanks a lot for your feedback, and I'm looking forward to learning more, especially on the thesis of not using short-term debt for a long-term investment.  

Looking forward to learning and growing along the way.Best,Dan Hi Dan, welcome to the BP group, any certain type of RE investing appeal to you?

Moving forward in my  commercial leases I will now include language making the placement of thermostats the landlords decision with additional language prohibiting the relocation. 

Fast forward to today and I am financially free with in Painesville, Ohio a 27 unit, 24 unit, 21 unit, 20 unit 15 unit, 12 unit, 8 unit, and 6 unit.  

We didn't buy much from the MLS and if we did, it was either a "handyman special" or it had been on the market 180+ days with a motivated seller willing to take less than market value.This will be the "new normal" going forward and a lot of newer investors will drop out of the acquisition market and just hold what they have.

We started raising the rents on the 3 and 4 BR units until the rate of leasing slowed to a normal pace.Fast forward two years and we found ourselves with higher vacancy on those same units. 

Looking forward to hearing back from the community.

Looking forward to seeing your growth here!

The fact that you’re ready to take action is already a big step forward.

Looking forward to connecting.Hi Terrance!
