Private equity firms contact me daily about a company I have listed, and most of them are just time wasters. 

Especially if they are daily practitioners.What would be your concern?

I as a REI was a contrarian. 2010,11,12 it was about a false bottom, false recovery, and that the dollar was about to go to $0, a W recovery, and the country falling apart and that one should be prepping, buying food packs NOT doing REI.     

I agree that's true but kind of a mute point imo... if you're concerned with the pex leaching chemicals then you should be concerned with the piping that city water travels in before reaching your pex lines and the quality of the city tap water in general.... as well as anything you drink that's bottled and any food that's bagged in plastic even those labelled as food safe which have been shown to leach chemicals.

The calendars for our properties are filling up decently, but it is taking daily work on rates to get that done.

This space is located on a "somewhat" busy street, a good amount of commuters drive by daily getting to the highway.

As a real estate agent and an investor, I am on the market daily and explore opportunities for myself and my clients.

You end up paying double.Just some food for thought from an REI and bookkeeping firm owner.I'm happy to discuss more and get into the weeds.

I had to book a hotel at same place they holding: Total expense: $1000 + $500 + Food/Toll/Gas = about $1,800ish Schedule : 8:30am to 5pm.

@Kirk Garner here's our standard copy & paste food for thought:).Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.
